Our application process

Discovering your passion, your path, and yourself...starts here.

We Want to get to know you!

If you reside outside of our contracting towns and wish to discover more about the Academy, to get started, please complete our online inquiry form. This will add you to our database, allowing us to get to know you better and keep you updated on admissions events and other important information.

Who should apply and when

Students who reside outside of our contracting towns wishing to attend the Academy are required to complete our application and pay the tuition rate set for the school year. While we accept applications on a rolling basis, we encourage applicants to submit their materials by December 1st. This is important because several key events in January are designed to help freshmen integrate into the community. For students in other grades, submitting by this date also makes it easier to schedule meetings with school counselors and access support while classes are still in session. Please contact the admissions office at [email protected] or 603-437-5200 x 1265 to help you during any part of the application process.

If you live or just moved to any of the six sending towns you do not need to apply with the application. For a list of our sending towns, please click here. Please contact the registrar at [email protected] or 603-437-5200 x 1177 to get registered.

"I came to Pinkerton November of my freshman year and felt so welcomed. I was nervous at first, but the staff at the school truly made me feel like they cared about me and all of the other students. Pinkerton has many different opportunities including courses that aren’t typically at other schools, a good counseling program, and amazing people in general."
