School Notes:

  • Parents are required to attend a Parents Weekend annually and an additional three (3) quarterly meetings of WITT (We're In This Together). The School-family bond is significant and the school makes specific requests of families, such as limited screen time for students, nutritous (whole food) nutrition and use of Positive Discipline and Being 101 strategies.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended October 06,2012 - New Leaf School for Change has been a blessing to our family in so many ways. Our son, Jordan, has been diagnosed with PPD/NOS on the Autism spectrum and before we found New Leaf, we did not have much hope for the future. The public schools were basically just a day care for him and we found a lack of connection and interest there. When we came to New Leaf, that all changed. Jordan is in the 3rd grade and has been there since the later part of his 1st grade year. He is thriving! He is learning not only academics but how to interact with others and how to succeed in life. He is taught in a manner that meets him where he is and asks him to grow and stretch himself. He is happy and healthy because of the environment and the level of care he receives. The teachers and administration all genuinely care for the children there. The sense of family and cooperation is evident on a daily basis. I have never had one bit of trouble with this school or anyone there. I''m so happy we found New Leaf and for the first time in a long time I have HOPE for Jordan''s future!*-Posted by Parent *
