Kimball Union Academy
Kimball Union Academy's beautiful campus is located on a scenic hill overlooking the majestic mountains of western New Hampshire. Surrounded by rivers, streams and rolling hills of farmland and forest, the campus is an ideal place in which to study and experience the environment. KUA is also within close driving distance of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains, the Connecticut river, and Dartmouth College: all excellent resources for outdoor classroom and recreational opportunities. In addition, students will use the new E.E. Just Environmental Science facilities, complete with several laboratories, state-of-the-art laptops, countless books and other research materials, and a model greenhouse.
