At the Greensboro New School
Classes are small enough for teachers to truly know their students
Children are excited to learn and that promotes learning as a life-long process
Teachers are inspired by students and learn along with them
Relationships are nurtured
Emotional needs are valued as much as building skills
Children take on tough challenges that give them the confidence to grow
Different views are valued
Students build on their strengths and use those strengths to try new things
Ability and interest are as important as age in determining what a child can study and how they will study it
Children move ahead when they are ready and don’t have to wait for a class that may hold them back or push them too fast
All children explore their unique abilities in an environment that fosters an internal motivation to learn
