Admissions

Continuous limited enrollment available

As our classrooms are larger and our class sizes are smaller, we can meet the developmental needs of students through small group instruction and low adult to student ratios. We are capping enrollment in some classes, so please inquire now if you’re interested in enrollment.

Welcome To a Unique Learning Environment

Thank you for your interest in New Morning School.  We invite you to explore our school and see how it can be the positive atmosphere in which your child can thrive.

New Morning School is a unique learning environment that encourages children to learn at their own pace and style.  We have taken the stages of childhood development that were outlined by Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, and created a school that respects how knowledge develops at each of the stages.  His work is further reinforced by the latest brain research.

In addition to accommodating the needs of the individual child, we also incorporate parental involvement in our philosophy.  Parental involvement benefits the children as well as makes for a healthy support system for the school.

We have posted a great deal of information about our school online, however, new parents tell us the best way to learn about New Morning School is to visit.  We invite you to attend any one of our Open Houses or come to a weekly tour to see our school in action.

We look forward to meeting you.

 

 

Inquiry to Enrollment Process

School Tour

During your visit you will learn about the New Morning philosophy and curriculum, observe the classrooms, speak with the teacher(s), and will have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss your child’s needs. This meeting is for parents only. We look forward to seeing you there!

Registration and Information Gathering

Once you have completed your tour and are interested in the application process, we go through an information gathering stage. This helps us get to to know your child before their student visit, and helps us understand your child’s strengths and unique gifts.

Student Visit
Each prospective student is invited to spend a day at the school prior to enrollment. This provides an opportunity for New Morning staff to observe the child in our learning environment and make an informal assessment of his/her skill level. In addition, the student is able to experience the classroom.

Application Follow-Up Meeting

After the student visit, a scheduled follow-up meeting with the Head of School and parents occurs to discuss the results of the application process and next steps, which includes the co-op participation level for the family.  Please see our Co-op Program page for details.  

We can’t wait to see you at New Morning School!
