ABOUT us
Welcome to The New School
The New School is a strange and wonderful place. Here learning is not classes, or homework, or tests.
Learning is raising questions; finding ways to get answers;  and getting them.  
Learning is trying out new skills and honing old ones.  
Learning is about becoming attentive, self-aware, self-directed, articulate, and effective.
Learning is becoming a responsible adult.

CHILDHOOD

Education is each child's personal achievement.  
Adventure, challenge, triumph, defeat, work, play, risk, struggle, and insight flower into the adult a child becomes.
At The New School each child is both gardener and blossom.
Our Philosophy
The New School has a child-centered philosophy based on the beliefs that every person desires to learn, and that to become a responsible adult, children must have the liberty to practice being responsible.
Our History
Looking back, I realize that even for an unorthodox school we had very unusual beginnings. . .
Our Methods
The New School is dedicated to helping each child develop, in the ways that are best for him, the skills of rigorous thought, articulate expression, and a joyful engagement in life.
