As a parent who has had multiple children go through ConVal, I can confidently say this school provides a "choose your own adventure" style of education. Whether your child is aiming for university or looking to enter a skilled trade, the resources here are genuinely impressive.The Region 14 CTE (Career and Technical Education) Center is a standout feature. It’s not just elective classes; it’s a professional pipeline. Students can graduate with industry-standard certificates, making them career-ready on day one. My own children earned certifications and college credits through the CTE program, which gave them a massive head start in life after high school.For those on a traditional collegiate path, the AP courses are robust and offer another fantastic way to stack college credits while still in high school.The award-winning German program is arguably the best in New Hampshire. It’s more than just language credit; it offers students the life-changing opportunity to travel internationally, broadening their worldview in a way that stays with them forever.What truly sets ConVal apart is the culture of partnership. The administration and teachers don't just lecture; they partner with parents and students to map out a future. I’ve been particularly impressed by how they handle challenges. Even when kids "aren’t doing the right thing," the staff works to help them find their way back on track rather than just writing them off. It’s about growth, not just discipline.Safety is a top priority here, and the addition of a School Resource Officer (SRO) has been a positive move. The SRO provides a steady, safe presence that allows the kids to focus on their studies without worry. Furthermore, I have been deeply heartened by the school's huge effort to support social-emotional health. They recognize that teenagers today face unique pressures, and the resources put toward mental and emotional well-being show that the school cares about our kids as people, not just test scores.If you want a school that balances high-level academics with real-world career training and a supportive, safe environment, ConVal is an excellent choice.

SMS offers a well balanced middle school experience. The classrooms are calm and well run. The teachers are experienced and caring. There’s a clear focus on academics and plenty of cocurriculars available for kids to expand their interests after school. The staff is also very responsive to families needs.

We adore this elementary school. I hope our next kid gets to attend.
