Small class size is one of New School's most notable and important commitments to our students. Children enrolling in pre-kindergarten/kindergarten will have no more than 15 students in their classroom. Their is a maximum of 18 students in all other classes. Teacher aides, university students and parents ensure that the New School students receive a level of individualized attention unparalleled in other area schools.
Carbondale New School has always been a leader in implementing innovative teaching methods and concepts that several years later are reported in the media as "progressive" or "cutting edge." For instance, our teachers have many years of experience with "hands on" approaches to teaching mathematics and science. Language arts are integrated into the instruction and learning of all subjects.
The school's theme-based curriculum encourages students to make important connections among subjects and to pursue and develop their own intellectual interests. The curriculum also permits classes to share knowledge. These relationships among the classes are an important feature of the school. Younger students gain confidence as they demonstrate their accomplishments while older students have the opportunity to realize their potential as mentors.
