Elementary Grades K - 5
Our elementary program begins with kindergarten, which offers children a strong foundation in academics and a healthy, positive attitude toward learning. To help insure future success in school our program provides each child the best possible opportunities for social and academic growth. Experiences encountered in kindergarten will have a positive effect on your child's self-confidence, level of motivation, and attitudes toward learning.
The New School elementary philosophy centers on presenting students the opportunity to develop a love of learning, a positive sense of self, a strong academic foundation, and a healthy, organized approach toward academic endeavor. The New School's low student-teacher ratios and limited class sizes insure the effective implementation of our carefully planned curriculum. Teachers monitor each student's academic progress and continually evaluate the students' mastery of classroom materials. Our students' scores on standardized tests of achievement indicate levels of academic performance that significantly exceed regional and national norms.
