An alumni family writes about missing The New School Montessori
The Gibson family attended The New School Montessori before work transferred them to Minnesota. They wrote to us recently with this message… “Hardly a week has gone by when we haven’t spoken nostalgically about The New School. We’ve toured many Montessori schools, and half a dozen other preschools and elementary schools, which has made us long for your special school even more… You and the staff are just on a different plane of understanding, regarding how a school can be laid back, warm, creative, and meet the highest professional standards. What a gem in every way possible!” Big …

TNSM elementary students will have work shown in the Kennedy Heights Art Show
Robin Hartmann, TNSM art teacher, read the book Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold to her elementary classes. They learned what it’s like to live in a big city and that rooftops are often places where one can lie on a beach towel to get some sun, plant some vegetables, or have dinner outdoors with friends. Just as the little girl, Cassie, in the book described what it would feel like to fly high above the buildings and bridges, the students used their imagination to create what they might see on such a flight. March 11, 2017 – April 8, 2017 Kennedy Heights Art Center 6546 …
Students embrace the beauty of imperfection in their art
TNSM’s elementary art teacher, Robin Hartmann, purposefully broke china plates into pieces for her students to repair in beautiful ways. They used the practice of kintsugi which is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, treating breakage as part of the history of an object and not something to disguise. It is in keeping with a Buddhist concept called wabi-sabi which centers on the wisdom and beauty of imperfection.
