As a father of two daughters who began their educational journey at The New Village School starting in Kindergarten, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact this institution has had on their development. One of my daughters graduated in 2023 and is now thriving at Tam High School, while the other is set to graduate in two years. The peace of mind I felt on their first day at The New Village School is something I will always cherish.The New Village School has been a steadfast anchor in our lives, radiating kindness and inspiration. From the very beginning, there has been an undeniable sense of belonging. The school's focus on nurturing social-emotional intelligence within a vibrant and diverse community has fostered tremendous self-awareness and a strong sense of purpose in both of my children. The inclusion of outdoor activities, travel, and engagement with contemporary themes, combined with a rich hands-on learning experience, has yielded remarkable results.The teachers at The New Village School are not only accessible and available but also deeply passionate, caring, and kind. The parent community is inclusive, welcoming, supportive, and genuinely interesting. The school's commitment to a screen-free childhood, small class sizes, individualized attention, and a curriculum tailored to developmental stages has led to impressive academic outcomes.I wholeheartedly recommend The New Village School to anyone seeking a child-centric education that cultivates a love of learning, active participation, and a sense of responsibility in their children.
