Diversity Beyond the Numbers
At New City, we believe that teaching students to understand and appreciate diversity is essential for success in life.
Personal Intelligences
Our students care about others, they look inward to know themselves, and they work together to solve problems and enhance learning.
Joyful Learning
Learning isn’t something you do to reach a goal; it is something you do because it is fun and part of who you are.
