The New School offers a very strong academic curriculum for kindergarten through eighth grade in language arts, math, social studies, and science. Enrichment programs include art, physical education, and foreign language arts instruction. An individualized curriculum is tailored to each student's level of maturity and learning ability. The transition from the Blacksburg New School to the public school environment presents no problems. One need only look at the newspaper-published lists of students making all As and Bs at the area schools to see that former New School students are well represented.
Benefits go far beyond the academic, however.
