At 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.
