The Beech Hill School is an innovative independent middle school located in Hopkinton, New Hampshire, minutes away from The Concord Hospital, St. Paul's School, and Interstate 89. The Beech Hill School is a member of The Independents School Association of Northern New England and The National Association of Independent Schools.

History
The Beech Hill School was founded by Emily Ricard in 2011 to serve middle school students in a student centered manner that would embrace best practices across the spectrum of educational philosophies. Ms. Ricard founded the school as a Not-For Profit, and organized a Board of directors, which quickly appointed the Founding Head of School, Richard (Rick) Johnson.

In 2012, The Beech Hill School opened, offering grades 6 and 7. The following year, 8th Grade was added, and 7 students graduated, becoming the school's first alumni. In the fall of 2018, The Beech Hill School is adding a 5th grade.
