Seven Hills New Hampshire

Supporting children and adults who are on the autism spectrum, and/or have disabilities, and other life challenges

In 2022, Seven Hills New Hampshire, was created as the home of Crotched Mountain School & Village, which serves children and adults with disabilities and life challenges through a spectrum of therapeutic educational and clinical modalities that encourage each person’s highest possible degree of personal well-being and independence. Seven Hills New Hampshire is part of the Seven Hills Foundation Division of Children’s Services, an expansive network of affiliates and programs that support children in various program models specific to each student’s needs.  This network brings the expertise of educators, clinicians, behaviorists, medical specialties, and direct support professionals committed to ensuring each student achieves their fullest potential.

Crotched Mountain School

Crotched Mountain School (CMS) hosts innovative special education, recreation, arts, music, and vocational programming for students aged 5-21 who are on the autism spectrum and/or have disabilities and other challenges that are better supported in an alternative, least-restrictive environment to their local public school system.  Crotched Mountain School is licensed by the New Hampshire Department of Education (NHED) and the Certification for Child Care Licensing Unit (CCLU), ensuring that we meet and exceed the highest standards of education and care. 

Our commitment to innovation and personalized learning is reflected in our special education curriculum, which incorporates advanced behavior management strategies and tailored instruction to meet each student’s unique needs. We focus on fostering independence, emotional well-being, and academic growth, helping students reach their full potential.

As we continue to grow, Crotched Mountain School (CMS) is expanding its programs to support transition-age students and adults, offering specialized services that help them confidently move into the next stages of life. Our goal is to be a place of lifelong learning and growth where students and young adults feel supported, empowered, and ready to succeed.
