Over thirteen years ago I was hired as the Founding Head at Oliverian School. Quite honestly, I couldn't have been more excited, although I was terrified at the same time. I'd spent twenty-two years as a teacher, coach, Dean, Assistant Head, and Head at very traditional independent schools, but had very little working knowledge of the world of wilderness programs, RTC's, and therapeutic schools. I needed to learn more about this world as quickly as possible.
It was suggested to me that I meet and speak with the then Head of Auldern Academy. Not only was he the Head of School, but he'd also helped to found a school in Costa Rica, and had international experience teaching in the Far East. I jumped at the idea, and quickly called and made an appointment to meet with a guy named Will Laughlin.
Well, you can quickly guess the serendipity. Here it is, over thirteen years later, and Will has graciously accepted our Board's offer to be Oliverian's third Head of School! I couldn't be more excited, and Oliverian couldn't be more fortunate. He's hit the ground running these past few weeks and our campus is already buzzing with his positivity and energy. Please join me in welcoming Will and Beth to Oliverian!!

The Oliverian School is an alternative boarding school located in a beautiful valley in northern New Hampshire. Boys and girls in grades 9-12, who have struggled in a more traditional setting, thrive at Oliverian because of an effective blend between experiential learning and college preparation. The School provides a balance between challenge and support in all areas of a student's academic, social, and emotional life.
We also offer a seven-week Summer Session which combines six weeks of academic recovery and enrichment with a one week adventure trip.
