Ashuelot Valley Academy; Keene, NH

Located in Keene, NH, Ashuelot Valley Academy (AVA) is a co-ed day school serving students in grades 5-12. As part of Mount Prospect Academy, Inc., AVA is a NHDOE-approved Non-Public School and Special Education Program.

At AVA, students live at home and attend their academic programs on campus. We pride ourselves on maintaining a high faculty-to-student ratio, ensuring personalized attention for each student.

AVA is a therapeutic school that recognizes the challenges students face when emotional or mental health needs interfere with learning. Our embedded therapeutic support services aim to address these underlying factors, creating a safe and supportive environment for all. Our teachers provide competency-based instruction and employ innovative strategies tailored to non-traditional learners, all while being supported by trained mental health professionals. We offer individualized academic support services and ensure our students have full access to the general education curriculum as outlined by New Hampshire curriculum standards.

Academic engagement is a crucial part of our treatment plans. We consider each student’s family and sending school district as key stakeholders in all planning efforts. Students are enrolled in the appropriate academic classes based on their sending school district’s graduation requirements and AVA’s recommendations. AVA awards graduates with a high school diploma that meets New Hampshire state minimum standards.


To continuously enhance our curriculum, we are developing the Extended Learning Opportunities program, allowing students to earn high school credits while exploring new academic subjects of interest. We are also creating personalized learning plans for all students.

AVA employs a variety of modalities to promote behavioral change and emotional growth. Our approaches include principles of applied behavioral analysis, clinical models, and interventions such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency), Therapeutic Recreation, and both individual and group counseling.
