Hampshire Country School
Hampshire Country School is a boarding school in Rindge, New Hampshire started by Henry Curtis Patey and Adelaide Walker Patey in 1948. Formerly a co-educational school, it is designed now as a residential middle-school for high ability boys who have difficulty in other settings, including students with Asperger's Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Hampshire Country School is a place for boys with high intellectual potential that has not been realized and with idiosyncrasies that may have become major problems in traditional settings. The school provides an unusual environment in which those problems are no longer as significant -- not because they have been “fixed,” but because the school's focus is on the bright, active, engaged, and engaging side of each child rather than on his quirks or limitations.
Hampshire Country School is now ably managed by William Dickerman, Ph.d. Here he is handing out academic awards and showing off some of the musical talent at Hampshire Country School.[1]
The scenery of Hampshire Country School is quite beautiful.[2] Hampshire Country School is situated on 1,600 acres in Rindge, New Hampshire, and has entered into an agreement with The Nature Conservancy to protect the grounds in perpetuity. These grounds were originally a farm[3]. The Wapack Trail runs through the Stony Top mountain ridge on one portion of the grounds[4]
