FACULTY

"Abundant research is now available to confirm what anecdotal evidence and commonsense have suggested was true all along: good teaching is the single most important element in determining student achievement."

"Carnegie Challenge Report, 2001"

Extraordinary Faculty

The teaching experience of New City faculty members averages 16 years, with an average of more than ten years at New City School. More than 50% of the faculty hold advanced degrees.

Performance-based Pay Plan

New City School is one of very few schools in the country to use a performance-based pay plan for teachers. Teachers are evaluated in five key areas: knowledge of subject matter; knowledge of child development and the learning process; rapport and enthusiasm with students; presentation skills; and professionalism and collegiality.


"I love New City School and I am thankful everyday when I drop my kids off because the school holds so true to values that I share. My wife and I have literally shed tears together after some of our children's parent/teacher conferences because we have been so moved by the obvious love and care that the teachers have for my kids ."
