Hampshire Country School Notes

Because of its small size and supportive environment, HCS is an especially good choice for very bright elementary and middle school boys who have difficulty in larger, socially complex schools, including boys with such diagnoses as nonverbal learning disorder, Asperger's syndrome, or ADHD. It is not appropriate for students who experiment with drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. Students may continue into or through high school, but initial enrollment should be at a younger age.
