The teaching staff is amazing. They are compassionate, understanding, and truly inspiring. Every year, I’m blown away by the progress my children make. Whether it’s toilet training, learning division, or even contemplating quantum mechanics, the teachers know exactly how to bring out the best in each child.

At the same time, children are never shamed or discouraged if they need more time to grasp a concept—in fact, they’re not even aware of any differences.

Our boys’ days typically start with a smile and a hug and a friendly hello from teachers who know my and my husband’s first names. The days are run smoothly and the classrooms are led by skillful, loving, attentive teachers who know how to maintain calm order while meeting the individual needs of all children in their care.

Then the magic begins! Our children are developing a love of learning while simultaneously excelling above grade level in all subjects!

We started at TNS in November 2013 and our experiences have been great. The teachers we have encountered at each education level have taken the time to understand our child and evaluate the optimal approaches for motivating her to learn.

Each child is different and requires different methods for educating them. For this reason, we are very happy that Sofia is not only in Montessori-based education but specifically at TNS.

The education is excellent, and the method is perfect for creating an independent, self-thinking child. The environment is a caring small community of teachers and students that take the time to nurture and care for each other.

I send my child to The New School with the confidence that she will continue to love learning and enjoy going to school with friends and teachers that will positively influence her future.
