It’s a great way to meet local alumni and parents and connect with friends and classmates across the country! 

• Arts Day

• Class Agents

  A class agent is a fundraiser for their class. Class agents typically send one to two letters to classmates per year and are instrumental in keeping their peers up to date on what is happening at their alma mater. Help us reach out to your classmates and keep them connected to NHS. 

• Project Week

  Project Week is an experiential learning project of the New Hampton School. The purpose of Project Week is to provide all students and faculty time for an extended and vigorous investigation of an essential question through outstanding educational opportunities that are not possible in the standard classroom setting.
  
  Students engage in self-directed learning with appropriate adult guidance, and they self-reflect about the process, experience, and outcomes of their project throughout the week. A key component of the program is that students and faculty share their experiences and learned outcomes with the broader New Hampton School community, including parents and alumni.
