School Data

    Discover this school

    New Traditions Elementary School is committed to multiculturalism, diversity, creative arts, and the development of our students into responsible, active participants in the world. At New Traditions, students thrive in a collaborative environment that empowers each student and values each as a unique individual. At our school, equity and access means allocating resources to students based on their academic and developmental needs, while ensuring that all students are challenged. New Traditions encourages independent learning. We encourage students to be creative, independent learners through the arts. All students at New Traditions, regardless of their academic or developmental standing, participate and learn through the arts, field trips, partnership opportunities, and challenging activities inside and outside of the classroom. To us joyful learning means students and teachers engaged in the creative process of teaching and learning where teachers are teaching with rigor; where students find relevance in their learning; and where strong relationships are developed between teachers and students. Students feel accepted, appreciated and recognized for their accomplishments.

    We stress cooperation and independent learning, reinforcing an atmosphere of friendship and mutual support with schoolwide projects. A culture of service at New Traditions means placing students at the center of our circles. It means that all members of the school community have a core responsibility for each child in the school. It means that we all support each other in order to serve our students in becoming the life-long learners, involved citizens in our society.
