At Newtown Friends School, we believe
how students learn is as important as
what they
learn. We focus on providing our students with the skills
they will need to learn and adapt to a rapidly changing world where
traditional models of education have become obsolete. Our
students are life-long learners and leaders who act and speak with
confidence and conviction. They apply critical thinking and
creativity to solve problems.
The school is a leader in outcomes-based education as demonstrated
by students':
-High scores on educational achievement assessments. Although
we do not "teach to the test" our students achieve scores that
are higher than the average for students at independent
schools.
-Preparation for the most selective high schools and universities
in the country with an emphasis on the best fit for
the student.
-Service to their communities and the world
-Career success later in life
These outcomes are achieved through the school’s 8:1
student-to-faculty ratio, which gives our experienced teachers the
opportunity to understand and care about your child. With an
appreciation of your child’s unique capabilities,
personality, passions and goals, teachers can focus on the areas
that will benefit your child the most.
As a Friends School, students, faculty and staff thrive in an
environment that emphasizes the importance of respect for the
individual, integrity, equality, social justice, simplicity, peace,
community, collaboration, and environmental stewardship. We believe
this allows students to become well-rounded individuals who
“do well and do good” throughout their lives. The
school embraces students from all religious backgrounds, races, and
nationalities, and believes exposure to a wide variety of ideas and
perspectives is critically important to all students’
development.
