Claudia Reilly, parent


The New School Montessori has been home to my family since 1993. I remember looking at more than 10 Preschools trying to decide where to send my kids. A wise friend said, “You will walk in a school and feel you are coming home.”  And this happened. I entered The New School, sat down with Barbara Gray to ask questions, and suddenly I was HOME.

Over the years, as I watched Ben (2002), Jeremy (2007), and Zach (2011) move from Preprimary to 6-9, 9-12, and then out into the wide world, one thing has stayed with me: This is a kind place. The teachers are kind, the staff is kind, and — best of all — the children absorb that kindness and treat each other with warmth. Children leave this school after 6th grade with a sense of fairness, compassion, and empathy. The New School Montessori is a place where a child never has to feel he or she is odd, friendless, alone. The New School Montessori is home.

“Not just a school, The New School provides an amazing community of parents, teachers, neighbors and friends, all within the heart of the neighborhood, providing a home-to-school-to-neighborhood bond that many students in this day and age are simply unable to have. ”

Caroline Hohl,  fall 2012 student teacher


“I have only been here four months and I know that community is what makes The New School a special place.  Here, children develop amongst people who value conscientiousness towards others, self-expression, the arts and intellectual ingenuity.”
