Students can now earn academic credits at Portsmouth Aikido through Learn Everywhere New Hampshire.

In 2022, Portsmouth Aikido was approved to award academic credit by the New Hampshire Department of Education. Through this program, we offer the opportunity for school-age students to earn Physical Education credits which can be applied to their transcript or used to document participation in physical education for homeschool students.
