675 Students Grades 5–12 |
19 Years of STEM Education |
4 Outdoor Focus Areas |
Our Students Are Building Tomorrow. Their Campus Is Finally Catching Up.
ASD has spent 19 years proving that a public charter school can compete with anyone—earning two National Blue Ribbons, sending graduates to top engineering and science programs, and building a reputation for STEM excellence that reaches well beyond New Hampshire. The academics are exceptional. The outdoor spaces have some catching up to do.
Our 675 students—from fifth graders tackling their first engineering challenges to seniors leading advanced research and design projects—spend every day in a school that excels on the inside. This year, we're making the outside match.
Our Campus, Our Future is a community-funded initiative to redesign ASD's outdoor spaces. Funds from this campaign support a planning and design phase that will guide improvements benefiting every student for years to come. All donations are tax-deductible.
Four Things Your Donation Will Actually Build
Here's what your donation builds across four areas, designed to benefit all 675 students.
|
🚦 SAFETY Traffic Flow That Does Not Require a Traffic Cop We're redesigning traffic and parking flow so drop-off doesn't become a contact sport and everyone gets home in a reasonable amount of time. |
⚽ PLAY & RECREATION Recess Is Not a Luxury. Science Says So. Every student deserves a real place to move, play, and decompress. We're building spaces that work for all ages, 5th grade through 12th. |
|
🔬 OUTDOOR LEARNING The Best STEM Lab Might Already Be Outside Dedicated outdoor spaces for project-based learning and hands-on experiments that simply can't happen in a classroom. |
🌳 COMMUNITY & WELLNESS A Place to Breathe Between AP Classes Green space is a health outcome, not a decoration. Gathering areas and natural elements where students can connect, rest, and actually be outside. |
Turns Out, Investing in Kids Works.
The Academy for Science and Design (ASD) stands at the forefront of STEM education, nurturing the brightest minds and future leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
