Newfound is a school with a challenging academic focus with a social skills component as an integral part of the curriculum.
We serve students in grades (PreK-12) with behavior and learning challenges.
Our specialties include: High Functioning Autism, Asperger's, PDD, Emotional and Behavioral Challenges, ADD/ADHD, and LD. Students with other needs will be considered.
Newfound's curriculum is comprehensive. We have a small student to staff ratio to insure individual attention.
A learning plan based on individual strengths and weaknesses is developed for each child.
Newfound's Executive Director, Dr. Marsha Guernsey, has a Doctorate in Education, and many years of experience with regular and special education.
Executive Director is "hands on" and actively involved with all aspects of the school.
Newfound School is designed to provide meaningful instruction and learning in a caring, nurturing atmosphere.
Students are provided lifelong learning strategies for academics, behavior, and social skills.
1) We are experts in curriculum and instruction. 2) We get it!
If you have ever had a disappointing experience at an ARD meeting
you will appreciate this. We are after the "best" educational
program and not the "free and approprate" that is offered in public
schools. 3) Newfound uses an educational model that focuses on
academics not therapies.
At last we have a dedicated phone number for suicide and crisis support. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is 988. More about it and suicide prevention here.
Seemingly never-ending school shootings prompted me to find out whether private schools were safer than public schools. Some answers and opinions on the matter here.
