Ledyard Charter School

Ledyard Charter School (LCS) prepares students for their futures, both academically and socially, in a rigorous academic program that stresses the importance of community and allows students to apply their learning in context. LCS provides opportunities for under- engaged students to re-focus on their strengths and interests and offers highly motivating and relevant learning opportunities with a strong academic core to support the community service, internship and practical experiences that contribute to the whole person.

We have a group of young men from Dartmouth who meet with our male students each week for an informal chat session, and we have a licensed female counselor who meets with the female students weekly who is also available for any student who might need someone to talk to.

Ledyard Charter School will actively engage students in:

...a rigorous, integrated personalized course of study;
...the application of 21st century concepts, skills and dispositions to real-world problems;
...authentic performance, and
...meaningful relationships with the adult community through personal advisors, mentors, apprenticeships and service learning.

“We believe that:
...everyone can learn.
...everyone can want to learn.
...everyone can make a difference.

Ledyard Charter School takes its name from John Ledyard, a curious and self-motivated Dartmouth College student who arrived at Dartmouth College in the Spring of 1772. He spent four summer months living (and learning) among the Iroquois as a college ambassador and became dissatisfied by the constraining academic offerings at Dartmouth upon his return to the college. He built his own canoe and paddled the length of the Connecticut River. He became an acclaimed world traveler, explorer, and a lifelong hands-on learner.
