Schools are places or systems for learning or education and may be physical locations composed of a building or a campus that includes multiple buildings. Schools may also be virtual or online institutions that offer educational experiences and degrees. Schools are usually physical locations for children in grades 1-12, as well as kindergarten and pre-kindergarten (pre-K) classes.
In New Hampshire, schools are recognized as places for learning and education, catering to various age groups including children in grades 1-12, as well as those in kindergarten and pre-kindergarten (pre-K). The state has a mix of public, private, and charter schools that operate within regulatory frameworks established by the New Hampshire Department of Education. Public schools are funded by the state and must adhere to state educational standards and assessments. Private schools, while subject to some state regulations, have more flexibility in their curricula and are primarily funded through tuition and private sources. Charter schools, which are publicly funded but operate with greater autonomy than traditional public schools, also exist in New Hampshire. Additionally, the state permits virtual or online schools, which provide educational services primarily through digital means. These online institutions must also comply with state educational standards and are available to students who prefer or require a non-traditional learning environment.
