Academic Excellence
The promise New City makes to students and their parents is to provide an unparalleled elementary academic experience that is the foundation for success in secondary school and beyond.
New City students are taught fundamental tools and skills through a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum by a committed, well-trained faculty with years of experience both in teaching and at New City.
Multiple Intelligences theory is the tool through which students learn and engage with the curriculum and by which the material comes alive for each student.
Personal Intelligence
New City students understand who they are. At New City, our students cultivate a sense of self and their place in the world. This gives them the ability to explore and learn and resist the temptation to define themselves through others.
New City students excel both individually and in teams as leaders and colleagues. They learn to become responsible for their own learning and to advocate for their ideas and objectives. This sophisticated understanding of themselves, the world and their role in it gives these students remarkable interpersonal skills.
diversity beyond the numbers
New City students learn to treat the people, the cultures and the world around them with respect. In a diverse world, this means recognizing varied points of view, truly understanding what makes us different and valuing various backgrounds and frames of reference.
This understanding, this empathy, gives New City students the ability to succeed by lifting others up.
Joyful learning
New City cherishes the wonder and magic of being a child. Childhood is play and exploring and fun and discovery. Learning is a joyful experience and a New City education is a joyful way to learn.
