Cole Elementary School

New City has been a wonderful place for kids to grow and develop for more than 50 years. It has been a leader in multiple intelligence, social-emotional learning and authentic inclusion, while promoting Joyful learning as its bedrock. My son -- who also attended a highly rated secondary school, Brown University and Northwestern Law School -- says unequivocally that New City is the best school he ever attended. The school produces kids who are self confident and ready to face the world with imagination and empathy. As a parent, grandparent and long-time board member, I can recommend New City School wholeheartedly.

The principal (former art teacher) lacked professionalism, discretion, displayed blatent favoritism,does not communicate well with parents, displayed overall poor leadership qualities with glaring inexperience. What a huge and unexpected disappointing experience. It is highly suggested Parents monitor their children closely and spend quality time inside the classroom to see what is really going on may be a good fit here. Do not allow the location, or previous reviews cloud judgement. Be Aware. due diligence.
