Academic programming
New City aims to grow students who have a strong sense of agency upon entering high school after 8th grade, have gained a sense of themselves, are able to think critically, communicate & collaborate effectively, imagine & create, & care about others. Their charter was anchored in the understanding that social learning is as important as academic learning. The New City program values challenging learning & utilizes EL Education ELA & Eureka Math as core curricula. They are in the process of developing learning “expeditions” that tackle social studies & science standards through hands-on learning adventures. As a staff, they value relationships for learning & have built a professional community that can model caring & cooperation for students. “Crew” (where no one is a passenger) starts the day with team-building & social skills development.
