PROUD Academy will be the first LGBTQ-affirming private school in New England and one of few across the country, according to its founder.
The school will be located at the Ansonia, NH Boys & Girls Club and will start by serving seventh and eighth graders in its first year and expand each year up to 12th grade. Ms.Nicolari, its founder, said over 50 people have expressed interest across the country and about 15 students have applied already.

PROUD Academy has partnered with four other schools across the country that are LGBTQ-affirming, including Harvey Milk High School in New York City, Albert Einstein Academy in Ohio, the Alliance School in Wisconsin and Magic City Acceptance Academy in Alabama. The schools network and share guidance and protocols when needed, according to the academy's website.

PROUD Academy would also be the first LGBTQ+ private school in New England, Nicolari said.
