School Notes
The cornerstone of TNCS`s academic programs is inquiry-based
learning. We don`t want our students just learning facts;
inquiry-based learning starts with a question or a problem that the
student then seeks to resolve through research and exploration.As a
result, TNCS students are open-minded and curious about the world
around them. They welcome a challenge, and they welcome the work
required to meet that challenge. They are willing to take risks
because they understand that, often, the most valuable learning
comes when you try, fall, get up, and try again.Our independent,
progressive methods place equal emphasis on academics and the
arts.
We believe that learning modern world languages will not only
improve your child`s academic performance, but will also develop
his or her cultural insight. The ability to speak more than one
language and having well-developed intercultural awareness are
hallmarks of the global citizen.Learning a language builds oral and
written fluency in that language while providing cognitive benefits
your child will carry through life. Multilingualism optimizes brain
function and keeps the brain flexible and ready to learn well into
adulthood. Learning other languages is a key part of TNCS
academics.
The New Century School student body is aged 2 (preprimary)
through Middle School.
