Located in Downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas, The New School is a well-rated private institution serving children from one year old through high school graduation. It enrolls over 400 students, and uniforms are not required. Founded in 1971, The New School began as a preschool and eventually evolved to include every grade. Through its many changes, the institution remains committed to its mission to develop engaged, compassionate students who love learning and work well with others. The approach seems to be working, as 100% of graduating seniors are accepted into four-year universities and colleges.
The school offers Advanced Placement and pre-Advanced Placement courses, as well as a comprehensive arts program that includes instruction in music, performing and visual arts. There’s even a music scholarship program for students to receive individualized instruction from renowned artists. In the past, students have had the opportunity to work with Grammy-nominated performers!
The New School features various types of athletics for middle and upper school students. In fact, 75% of students in grades seven through 12 take part in sports here. Alongside such teams as basketball, volleyball and track and field are less common offerings like bowling, swimming and golf. There’s also a Tinkering Studio and an Innovation Center, two spaces where students learn about technology through project-based interactive experiences.
In addition, The New School provides before- and after-care programs to support students and parents.

I joined The New School in 7th grade and the first thing I noticed was the school is small which allows people to connect easier with each other giving you a better school experience and with the small classes leads to more communication between students and teachers.

The New School is a wonderful and nurturing place that our son has thrived at for 13 years! The academic excellence and superb faculty and staff are one of the main reasons we love it so much! TNS also is very good at understanding our sons needs and challenging him at all opportunities!

The administration does not care about anything but money. We had to pay several thousand dollars when school was out for three months from COVID. My child is daycare age, so I had to pay top dollar for a service that I could not even use.

My two children have been at The New School since 2012 and we absolutely love it. We initially chose TNS for its small class size (maximum of 18 kids per class), and have continued to love the individual attention that each of our children get. It has made a huge impact on their engagement and inter...

My son loves the New School and so do I. When kids don't want to leave, I believe that sends a strong message about the quality of learning and care received. I love the focus on academic excellence, while infusing a sense of community, strong social skills and a want and desire to learn. They focus...
