NH has its share of exclusive college prep schools (a.k.a. boarding schools) for the rich/elite kiddos:

And these are only the top ones...there are more.

These are not super exclusive schools for the elite or rich. My son just started at New Hampton and many of us are hard working dual income families getting by so there kids can get an excellent education.

I can only speak to one of the schools on this list:
-It's in the Lakes Region
-It's a five week summer program
-Today's cost is $14,900
-Some students arrive from their full-year school, then go back at the end of this one
-Each parent is guaranteed a glowing review of their student's performance
-Quite a nice facility on a small body of water

I'm sure my comments don't apply to most of the schools listed (or mentioned by others), but this kind of expensive set-up does exist.

Sounds like Wolfeboro Camp School. It didn't open this year.

This list pretty much covers every private school in New Hampshire. A few of them, like Shortridge Academy, are for students with special needs.

It's my understanding that private schools above the 12th grade have to pay NH property taxes. So, that basically means that private schools, grades k-12, pay NO property tax, while private colleges do pay property tax.

So, where are the NH private colleges that pay property taxes? Are there any left besides Dartmouth which probably makes a negotiated payment in lieu of taxes to the Town of Hanover?

NH has a lot of private high schools, but very few private colleges.

NH is supposedly the only state out of all 50-states that imposes the local property tax on private colleges, that have students above the 12th-grade of education.

http://www.education.nh.gov/who-we-a...s-universities shows a list of 16 different private colleges that have closed. Many are in towns that definitely miss their local student and teacher populations who would stop into the general store to buy a lottery ticket and a pack of smokes, among other items and services in the local economy.
