• Illustration — 1909 advertisement for the school New Hampton School was founded on June 27, 1821, as a Free Will Baptist-oriented, coeducational institution. On that day the State of New Hampshire issued a charter to the New Hampton Academy, "having had three several readings," before the House of Representatives. That charter, issued to William B. Kelley, Nathaniel Norris and Joshua Drake, provided the framework for the institution that would become the New Hampton School and emphasized the "promotion of science and the useful arts." The school was later known as the New Hampton Literary and Theological Institution. From 1854 to 1870, the Cobb Divinity School was affiliated with the institute before moving to Bates College in Maine. Between 1925 and 1970 the school was a non-denominational school for boys. It returned to coeducation in 1970.

New Hampton School serves a wide range of learnings, offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, as well as an Academic Support Program with 30 years experience in serving students with diverse learning profiles. In 2022, the school launched an Entrepreneurial Studies Program that deploys Babson College's EPIC program and instills in entrepreneurial mindset in young learners.

The program admits fifth-year senior basketball players who seek an additional year of preparation before entering a Division I career. Recent examples include Will Davis and Travis Souza, both of whom went on to UC Irvine.
