ABOUT US
A 2022 National Blue Ribbon School, The Birches Academy is about to finish its 12th academic year! In 2011, eleven women came together looking for alternative education for their children, and a mission was born. Their steadfastness to executing on their vision has propelled The Birches Academy from a fledgling charter school in 2012 with 88 students to the robust 236 students we have today.
The Birches Academy of Academics and Art is a publicly funded, K-8 charter school located in Salem, NH serving 14+ communities in southern New Hampshire. As a public school, there is no cost for any New Hampshire student to attend.
We are dedicated to offering the highest quality education, preparing today’s children for tomorrow by utilizing technology, flexible, out-of-the-box concepts and challenging each student at their own learning level. However, without sufficient funding, we need to do more with less.
We need YOU!
NH charter schools are funded at only 50% of traditional public schools, one of the lowest rates in the country.
EVERY STUDENT COUNTS!
