Academics

At New City School, we nurture curiosity, inspire a love for learning, and cultivate self-awareness in our students. They become adept problem solvers who express their beliefs respectfully, embracing diverse perspectives. Our teachers purposely craft our curriculum to graduate students who know themselves, are connectors in their communities, champion equity, social justice, and lead with purpose, passion, and empathy.

Our dedicated faculty and administration collaborate to tailor a dynamic curriculum rooted in brain research and an inquiry approach. Working in grade-level teams and as a whole faculty, they continually refine a developmentally appropriate curriculum that progresses seamlessly year by year. This curriculum is grounded in essential questions and authentic learning experiences, empowering both teachers and students to deepen their understanding. Teachers are committed to ongoing growth and regularly participate in professional development workshops and conferences to enhance their curriculum and instructional practices.
