Taking the TerraNova serves as a practical life tool but also identifies student performance toward mastery of specific content objectives. It’s important to note that children’s academic progress is based on a number of factors that include, but are not limited to, the TerraNova test alone.
The evening begins informally as parents and students go from table to table looking through materials and asking questions of administrators from area middle schools. Later, recent alumni students share their experiences and answer questions. Childcare is provided for children of New School age.
Our 6th graders have the opportunity to explore Washington D.C., its monuments and other important museums and sights as they travel by plane and public transportation with teachers and chaperones. Students try new foods, learn to budget their meal allowance and enjoy the thrill of our nation’s capital.
Invite family, neighbors and friends to visit. Teachers, board members and staff are available to answer questions, to give tours and to facilitate the discovery process as children explore the environment.
You are welcome to attend TNSM Board meetings usually held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. We have 10-12 parent board members each year who meet with administrative staff to help guide the business and mission of the school.
The New School Montessori has put together a fun evening where we raise funds for our scholarship program while showcasing our musical parents. The evening takes place at the Northside Tavern.
Please join us in celebrating the music of TNSM’s orchestra. We are thrilled to have Melissa Robinson, former NKU director of strings and TNSM parent, leading our orchestra program as she challenges and engages the children in their music.

Each year at TNSM, elementary students celebrate Halloween in a special way. The slideshow above shows some of the famous characters we’ve identified from previous years through their clever costumes and spoken clues about their lives. The 6th graders share their love of anatomy in a “D’em Bones” song that lists bones from (head) parietal bone… to (toe) the distal phalange.
We are looking forward to this year’s celebration on Friday, October 30.
Our typical schedule is listed below:
- At 12:15 the elementary children celebrate Halloween by having a party outdoors at recess. Parents sign up to bring healthy snacks and to help with crafts and games.
- At 1:30 the 6th graders sing their rendition of “D’em Bones” on the porch steps, covering many of the 206 bones in the human body in song. Parents are invited to attend.
- At 1:45 the elementary students dress up as famous historical or literary characters and parents and students guess who they might be from clues the child discloses. Parents are also invited to attend the “Who Am I?” portion of the festivities too.
