Newly chartered school in Colebrook

COLEBROOK — The New Hampshire State Board of Education has officially granted a charter to Pinnacle Charter School. Developed by the non-profit Northern Collaborative for Quality Education, Pinnacle will open its doors in fall 2026 in Colebrook, becoming the northernmost charter school in the state. The first graduating class is projected for 2027.

Pinnacle Charter School was created to expand educational opportunity and innovation in rural communities by blending a love for learning with academic rigor, leadership development and socially responsible technology education. The mission of Pinnacle Chartered Public School is to meet the needs of students not fully served within a traditional rural high school educational environment and to employ a system that strongly encourages a love of learning and values curiosity, competency, inquiry and flexibility. Part of its mission is to ensure that all students graduate and are motivated to pursue post-secondary learning options.
