Parker Academy is a NHDOE-approved private special education day school serving middle and high school students with Autism, Emotional Disturbance (ED), Intellectual Disability (ID), Multiple Disabilities, Other Health Impairment (OHI), Specific Learning Disability (SLD), and Speech or Language Impairment.
Parker serves students who benefit from support with self-regulation, executive functioning, social pragmatics, anxiety, emotional regulation, school avoidance, and the effects of trauma. Students thrive in our small, relationship-based environment with classes of 3–6 students, individualized instruction, consistent structure, and opportunities to build confidence and independence.
Students must be able to participate successfully in small-group settings without dedicated 1:1 support. Parker is not designed to support students who regularly engage in physical aggression, significant property destruction, or behaviors requiring intensive behavioral or safety interventions.

Parker Academy is housed in a historic school house located in a rural setting. It provides space for art, tech ed., academic classrooms, and outdoor space for hiking. We utilize greater Concord for community service opportunities, field trips and community integration.
Admissions are initiated through the out-of-district placement process. The sending school district submits a referral packet for review. If Parker believes the student’s needs may be appropriately supported, an interview and tour are scheduled with the student, family, and sending district, followed by a half- or full-day student visit. Placement decisions are made collaboratively, with families and sending school districts serving as important partners throughout the process.

Diploma-granting; Extended School Year (ESY) programming; community service and experiential learning opportunities; regular outdoor and wellness activities; and access to Concord Regional Technical Center (CRTC) programming for eligible juniors and seniors.
Parker Academy provides a small, supportive educational environment where academic, social, and emotional growth are equally valued. Our approach is strength-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in the understanding that students learn best when they feel safe, connected, and regulated.
Individualized academics are complemented by explicit support for self-regulation, executive functioning, and social pragmatics. Movement, outdoor experiences, community service, creative opportunities, and experiential learning are integrated throughout the program. Through consistent structure, strong relationships, and collaboration with families and sending school districts, we help students build the skills, confidence, and independence needed for success in school and beyond.
