The New School is a uniquely wonderful school where children get individual learning contracts, parents are very involoved, and the staff is unusually dedicated. I can't recommend it enough! I wish I had had the opportunity to attend a school like this as a child!

New School has met all my son's needs, intellectual as well as social. The low teacher to student ratio combined with best teaching practices and individualized learning contracts means that each child receives the education he or she requires.

My son loves school because he is challenged to learn experientially ; interacts w/children of all ages; and participates in exciting activities like writing and acting in the students' own play. I love the intellectual rigor, the respect for differences and diversity, the multi-modal learning activities. There is an emphasis on social interactions and individualized curriculum and learning strategies that suit each child. the teachers are incredible and the learning experiences phenomenal. Parental involvement is high, and helps foster a true sense of community. Above all, the New School is a safe, comfortable, holistic environment in which the whole child is educated.

This is truly the 'little school that could', and has. The teachers are wonderful. The kids love the school. Amazing, just amazing.

The children interact with each other without regard to age, both socially and academically. Learning is both cooperative and individualized. Teachers frequently observe students so they can figure out how to get out of the way and allow students' natural curiosity to flourish. The best alternative to homeschooling!

My son attending this outstanding private school for 5 years. Curriculum is designed to meet the students' needs. Teacher quality is outstanding. Parent and family involvement and committment is as good as it gets. The New School focuses on the kids. A truly exceptional learning environment. When my son graduated and moved on to middle school I felt confident in his ability to handle any public school challenge be is cognitive, social, or emotional.
