Also notice, if you're a graduating HS senior, the year is much shorter. Teachers need all the grades and papers in, and we need time for "Senior Week".

Private schools do not receive federal or state funding so the are not required to have a certain amount of school days.

IN NH anyways the following applies to "non public" schools which does not deviate from the requirements of public schools. Note the requirement is defined by hours of instruction and not by number of days. Accreditation has nothing to do with educational requirements.


HAPTER Ed 400 APPROVAL OF NONPUBLIC SCHOOLS

Statutory Authority: RSA 186:11, XXIX; RSA 21-N:9, II
