The New School - An Adventure in Community Learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New School in Kennebunk, Maine was founded on the belief that small, innovative, challenging, community-based schools are a necessity for southern Maine and for young people all over the world. Many young people do not thrive in large public schools, particularly if they are unusually creative, have non-traditional learning styles, and need to belong to a small supportive community of learners. The New School pays attention to the whole person: body, mind and spirit. In a small supportive environment personal characteristics that might be labeled a disabilty in a larger school become an appreciated diversity.
