Our Mission & Core Values
Empathy
Growing Together
We cultivate a warm community where students care for one another and our animals, learning that every living thing thrives with kindness.
Mastery
Learning at Your Pace
Students advance by showing they truly understand a skill. This builds real confidence and a lifelong love for discovering new things.
Work
Hands-On Responsibility
Through our agriculture program, students learn that hard work is rewarding and that they have an important role in our school's future.
OUR APPROACH
How We Grow
We believe learning should be as natural as growing a garden. Our competency-based model ensures every child masters each step before moving forward, at their own perfect pace.
Mastery Over Seat Time
Students move ahead as soon as they truly understand the material, making school a journey of success rather than a race against a clock.
Hands-on Learning
Science and math thrive through husbandry and farming. By caring for animals and measuring seeds, our students learn by doing.
Our Story
BACS provides a distinct environment where New Hampshire students develop self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation through meaningful, agricultural learning. By prioritizing relevance and sustained engagement, our competency-based education ensures every child thrives individually. We foster a community where curiosity meets responsibility, allowing learners to achieve mastery at their own pace within our unique farm-based setting.
This mission comes alive each day as our students engage in personalized learning and hands-on agricultural tasks. In caring for the land and embracing real-world responsibilities, our children cultivate essential life skills and leadership. Our Vision: To become innovative leaders in society, students need an opportunity to learn in an environment that benefits them as human beings and is grounded in moral values. Breakthrough Academy Chartered Public School seeks to equip students with a moral compass and intrinsic motivation to pave a path, create bridges, and burrow through the challenges in life. Students will come to understand the world in which they live and the environment that surrounds them, and find meaningful value that will benefit their communities. Finally, all students will achieve their personal goals intellectually, artistically, and morally.
Growing Together
We are proud to be part of the Chocorua community. Beyond academics, our school will serve as a hub for local agriculture, sustainability workshops, and family gatherings that strengthen our local ties.
