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.

Variable Tuition
Does independent school tuition seem out of reach? At New City School, our Variable Tuition program helps to support families at all income levels.
Academic Excellence
We work hard to ensure that our students are strong academically, as well as being creative problem-solvers.
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.
