Director’s Welcome ~

A warm hello to our prospective families,

If you are reading this, it is likely that you are searching for something different for your child. I am thrilled that you have taken the time to learn more about Polaris Charter School and all that we have to offer! We draw students from more than 15 different New Hampshire towns and we are a diverse yet close-knit community. Polar

is Charter School is a tuition-free chartered public school that offers our students an education that fosters interest and curiosity, with a move-on-when-ready approach. There is no push to keep up or wait to move ahead as we strive to meet children where they are. We also place a strong focus on building social and emotional skills within a project-based environment. As the Director of Polaris Charter School, I am honored to lead this unique approach to public education. We believe that social and emotional support and personalized instruction, combined with the passion of our staff, provides our students with an exceptional education. I am incredibly proud of the work we are doing and I sincerely look forward to helping you learn more about how Polaris Charter School can meet your family’s needs. Jennifer Murdock-Smith, Director

For more than a decade, Polaris Charter School has been fortunate to share not only a parking lot but also a strong sense of community with our neighbors at CASA of New Hampshire.

Since Polaris began in 2012, we’ve had the privilege of knowing CASA’s founder, Marty Sink, and witnessing the extraordinary impact of her work. Marty retired on July 1 after a remarkable career dedicated to children across New Hampshire.

To honor her legacy, CASA has established the Marty Sink Legacy Fund for Advocates. The fund will strengthen support for CASA’s 600-plus volunteer advocates, the heart of the organization, helping them remain engaged, recognized, and equipped to serve children throughout our state.

CASA of New Hampshire contributes so much to our community, and we’re proud to celebrate Marty and share this opportunity to support the important work she began.

I could not have been happier to see these young adults today and hear their plans post-high school- they have found their path. The best of all, though, was seeing friendships that have lasted beyond the borders of towns, schools and time.

Our parent testimonials speak for themselves:

“Individual learning, making learning fun to keep kids engaged, small student to teacher ratio, great staff who shows they want to be there.”
