I like this school, however I believe the teachers don't give the kids enough warnings in school before they give out infractions. I do however feel that a note should be sent home to say that your child and I talked about this and what happened in school. Then if something where to happen again then an infraction would be done. My kids don't get in trouble a lot it is just that there are times which they might be bored or whatever the case may be and I feel they get these infractions for some stupid reasons. I do like they are strict but sometimes it would be great if the parent was able to see what goes on.
im, there now, they're kinda strict but its a good school they really want people to get a good education, im new there but my opinon so far is its okay not that bad but could be better :) i made friends so its okay
I love New Foundations Charter School, The faculty and teachers are great. They go above and beyond for each of their students. You can actually feel the family environment as soon as you walk into the school. I love the community and parent involvement. New Foundations actually has a plan, a goal, and a mission that will provide a great future for all students and families involved.
New Foundations is the equivalent to a private school. It's small staff to student ratio is unheard of. It simply is a world class education.
I think it is giving my son a fabulous education. I love this school. I am so happy and so is my son.
Most excellent school! Great administrators, great teachers, fabulous curriculum! I will never find a school that I felt best served my children. I will miss NFCS and highly recommend it to anyone and everyone

Bring your kids hear nfcs has alot of activities school work and more....
I have been a student at New Foundations Charter School since it opened in 1999. I started as the first kindergarten class ever and now I am in 7th grade. I have nothing but nice things to say about this school. The teachers are the nicest people you will ever meet and the staff in general is wonderful. Our school has so much to offer! Lately we have been doing some construction to make out school ever better and expand it even more. We will be adding another 3rd through 8th grades. I am very happy to be apart of this wonderful environment and will be very sad to lever hear next year. Chelsea Berkowitz 7th grade student.
I'm an eigth grader at New Foundations and I can tell you I am blessed to go there. I have gone to NFCS since it started and all these years I must say the teachers are incredible people who really care and you can just feel the spirit there.
