SAVE SCHOOL

New Roads School provides an inspired college preparatory program from which an authentically diverse student population, mirroring the rich diversity of Los Angeles, develops a personal dedication to learning, a respect for independent thinking, and an expanding curiosity about the world and its people.

We believe that education must not be a race for the accumulation of facts, but a joint venture among students, parents, and teachers to develop habits of mind, habits of character, an ever expanding awareness of the human situation, and the tools needed for social, political and moral participation as well as personal fulfillment.

We understand that there are many kinds of intelligence. As such, our programs assist young people in developing and appreciating cognition, intuition, imagination, creativity, physical expression and performance, sensitivity to others, self-understanding, and personal well-being.

The New Roads HUMANS Robotics team has found success in regional and international competition and is an example of how students are encouraged to proceed with passion: to challenge themselves both in and outside the classroom, academically and in other fields of endeavor.

The the arts have always been a foundation of New Roads' rich, inspired, and intellectually rigorous educational program.

New Roads’ science curriculum offers a wide range of courses that allow students to be challenged and find success at each phase of learning. Our ultimate goal is to open possibilities for future college study and careers. We want students to be amazed and awed by life, and to be inspired to understand it more fully through science.

In addition to building skills like teamwork, compassion, discipline, dedication and collaboration, we aim to help each of our student-athletes aspire to compete for New Roads at the ultimate level through high school and even college.

In a school that mirrors the socio-economic, cultural, and racial diversity of Los Angeles, New Roads students are challenged daily to question their own worldview, assumptions, perspectives, and righteousness. Students are provided with an authentically diverse community which stimulates cognitive friction in and out of the classroom, which prompts intellectual depth and critical thinking.

Our students learn by doing, and our educational practices are informed by research, particularly on the neuroscience of the brain and its implications for teaching and learning.

New Roads School provides an inspired education for an evolving world.

New Roads School in Santa Monica, California, is an independent K-12 educational community which serves 650 boys and girls.
New Roads School was established in 1995 as a model for education in an ethnically, racially, culturally, and socio-economically diverse community.

The demanding college preparatory curriculum not only emphasizes strong reading and writing skills, effective expression, and critical thinking, but seeks to go beyond ordinary "schooling" with a concern for the whole person.
