TNSM Orchestra enjoyed an evening at a College Hill Community Dinner

The New School Montessori Orchestra and Beginning Strings students shared the gift of music with homeless and disadvantaged members of the community at a dinner hosted by the Grace Episcopal Church in College Hill. The church regularly plans these gatherings for members of the community in need. TNSM students were excited for the opportunity to enjoy a meal with the College Hill community.  Visitors expressed their appreciation by dancing to some of the numbers and by thanking the children for spending an evening with them sharing music together. We are please to have Melissa Robinson leading our elementary orchestra and …

Educating the Whole Child

While many schools are looking to eliminate arts programs in order to better meet the pressures imposed by standardized tests and data driven assessment, we’re planning to continue doing the latter while also expanding our ability to serve the whole child, through an expansion of our facilities and the arts taught within them.

Animal Visitors from Hamilton County Parks

Julie showed the children many different insects, nests, bird eggs, toads, frogs and more. The kids (and I) were pretty surprised when Julie held a male carpenter bee between her fingers. We were shocked to learn that the males don’t have stingers. We also marveled at the tiny bean-sized humming bird egg next to the cantaloupe-sized ostrich egg and enjoyed using our pretend binoculars to spot various hidden nests that Julie hid in the TNSM elementary …
