Hampshire Country School

Hampshire Country School is a small boarding school in Rindge, New Hampshire. It serves fewer than 100 students from late elementary through high school. The school specializes in high-ability, neurodiverse learners—bright students whose minds work differently—who have not found success in traditional classrooms. Faculty live on or near campus and shape a family-style community where understanding, structure, and light-heartedness define daily life.

Teaching here centers on two core tasks. First, you meet students at their own learning pace. You address sensory needs, attention differences, anxiety, or unconventional academic profiles. Second, you rebuild confidence after earlier setbacks. Small enrollment means no large departments. Teachers collaborate across grade levels on individualized plans. You see results firsthand.

Evening and weekend residential duties are core to the role. Faculty supervise students, advise them, and coach sports. Most staff live on campus, which deepens relationships but requires schedule flexibility. The school does not publish salary or benefits online. Candidates should contact the school directly to discuss compensation, housing provisions, and retirement options. Faculty are drawn here less by salary than by the chance to work with capable students who need different teaching methods.

Staff backgrounds vary widely. Some come from special education or therapeutic settings. Others noticed how much more their students could achieve when anxiety or pacing problems disappeared. Hampshire Country School hires for teaching, advising, coaching, and residential roles year-round. Most openings occur before the academic year begins.
