From Our Graduates

"Since I graduated from New City in 1982, I have had more cause to reflect on my time at New City, having studied later at several more institutions and finding myself now in the role of professor at York University. I think the pedagogical ethos at New City, particularly under Tom's direction, is incredibly special. I really credit it with giving me the courage to think critically and independently, and with understanding learning as a democratic, participatory practice."
-Nicola Short
(John Burroughs School, 1988; BA, Georgetown Foreign Service; MA, University of Bradford; PhD, London School of Economics)


"It has taken me several years to truly appreciate what New City offered and the manner in which the school encouraged each child to develop and appreciate his or her own unique talents. No one was ever rejected for being stronger at one subject than the other; rather, we were all encouraged to work with what gave us trouble and appreciate the remarkable abilities of our classmates. This made for a comfortable, collegial learning environment where everyone felt useful, necessary and confident about what they brought to the table."
