The Oliverian School: an Alternative New England Boarding School

Nestled on a 1,800-acre campus in beautiful Northern New Hampshire, The Oliverian School provides an inspiring, supportive, and challenging educational alternative for students in grades 9-12. Here in the mountains of New Hampshire, in a unique school environment that combines stewardship, academics, a caring culture, and adventure, students who march to the beat of their own drummer will find support, inspiration, and success. We're confident that students who have struggled in more traditional academic environments will find the right blend of challenge and understanding at Oliverian. The Oliverian School offers rolling admissions. View our current list of 2010 College Acceptances.

NEW! View our Experience Oliverian DVD to witness heartfelt testimonials spoken directly from students and parents. Generously created by Tom Townsend, parent of Alex Townsend ’08.

Our Mission
Our mission is to educate students, who, despite experiencing difficulties, want to transition to a college preparatory setting where they are inspired and supported as they prepare to succeed in a complex, intricate and ever-changing world. We promote and support a "zest for living" by encouraging self-exploration, spirituality, character formation and integrity, as our students learn to balance their individual needs with those of the community.

Alumni Album Release
Robert Carl Menegay’s ’11 album “Kaleidoscope” is live! Born out of his senior project, Robbie and music teacher Brett Wanner produced his first album on campus. Very John Mayer-esque, with a new vibe! Check out Robert Carl on the PDRL website (The People’s Democratic Record Label). Great stuff!

Student Testimonial
Francesca Quillen ’09 made Dean’s List at CU Boulder! Students must earn 3.75 GPA or higher to be noted for this distinction. We are so proud of Francesca’s success and honored to have helped pave the way, as she notes, “Oliverian helped me in every way to get ready for college as I learned I don't need to be anxious about everything in my life. After learning how to control my anxiety at Oliverian, I kept building on it every year here at CU Boulder, until I finally learned to manage it to the point where I can actually focus on my work.” Great job Fran!
