The New School
is a place for children:
|
|
|
To
learn responsibility through self-reliance.
|
|
|
To
be free to explore without the constraints that smother interest and
breed mediocrity.
|
|
|
To
develop individualized curricula, including group and independent study,
hands-on exploration, travel, correspondence, experiment, and major
projects, limited only by their imaginations and ambition.
|
|
|
To
be accepted for who they are and gain insight and toleration of others
by working in a community composed of empowered individuals, without age
or other imposed segregation.
|
|
|
To
learn the arts of liberty by participating in the student administered
judicial process and using the tools of the participatory democracy of
the School Meeting which govern and manage The New School.
|
|
|
To
use the close, supportive community of The New School as a base from
which to explore local, regional and global communities, through trips,
personal contacts, and telecommunications..
|
|
|
To
reflect on their growth to adulthood, while preparing the written
arguments and public defense of their belief that they are ready to be
responsible and productive adults. Proof of this, to the satisfaction of
the school community of students, staff, and parents, is the requirement
for graduation from The New School.
