Mission

The Community School is a private non-sectarian co-educational day school serving 30 students in grades 6 to 12. Our students are bright, highly motivated young people from 15 towns in central New Hampshire and western Maine.

We believe learning is a rigorous and joyful pursuit which calls on each individual's talents and interests, and promotes appreciation of the interconnectedness of people and places. At The Community School, our mission is to support students on their individual learning paths within a caring and respectful community.

Tuition assistance is available on the basis of demonstrated need. If you believe that your resources are not sufficient to meet the total costs of a Community School education, you are encouraged to apply.

Tuition Aid Data Services (TADS) provides a framework through which household need can be measured fairly and equitably. Recommendations from TADS are used by The Community School award committee in accordance with its policies to determine the award amount. Final awards notices will be mailed the third week of April by the committee.

Applications for tuition assistance may be completed online at http://www.tuitionaid.com/. The $29 processing fee is made payable to TADS. Failure to pay the processing fee may delay the evaluation.
