Since 1995, New Century School Charter school has been a K-5 public school option for all residents in the Verona Area School District. Our mission is to help students become resourceful problem solvers in a global world that demands flexible, innovative, and critical thinking.
Our charter includes a focus on environmental studies and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects. Our environmental themes connect core subjects, as nature provides an engaging context for scientific exploration and hands-on learning, our integrated arts program provides cultural context, and partnerships with local non-profits and businesses encourage a sense of community and inspire students to understand the larger world beyond the classroom.
Building on two decades of success, New Century teachers provide a dynamic and proven curriculum that drives our key strengths: multi-age classrooms, team teaching and a student-centered approach to learning. They encourage students to pose thoughtful questions and then guide their learning by helping them effectively seek answers. We believe this questioning method makes learning more exciting, relevant and memorable — we strive to prepare students to be self-motivated learners who approach new challenges with confidence and creativity.
