Our son is just blossoming at The New School. It is a warm, inclusive community that respects individual student strengths and challenges. The staff are so skilled at supporting the whole child.

Our child was doing great in middle school but once in high school (during the first year of COVID), their engagement and joy for learning waned.

They've become a more outgoing and confident person and we believe The New School is directly responsible for that.

This school has done a lot for me. I transferred to the new school four years ago and never regretted it. The teachers are very supportive and always push me to be my best. Any questions I have are answered and teachers will find time to meet with me outside of class if I need it. The student body is very kind and connected. We constantly have fun activities going on. I always recommend this school to parents or kids who feel that they don't fit in public schools for one reason or another. This school can really be life-changing.
