A BIG THANK YOU

NV Students display the generosity of New Vistas' families who contributed to our food drive in November. A very special thank you to all who contributed.

It was such a success and the Food Bank Board of Directors were so appeciative of the help we were able to give.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

WELCOME

Welcome to New Vistas Center for Education! We are so glad you are here! My name is Carol Elias, and together with Dr. Eleanor Jordan thank you for visiting our blog.

One of the things that brings us great pleasure is our reconnection with former students who let us know how their preschool and elementary experiences have shaped their future and contributed to their great success as they continued into junior high, high school, college and eventually, their careers. Our shared history and consistency, as well as many other educational strengths, makes New Vistas unique in the world of primary and intermediate education.

Each year, we rededicate ourselves to what we consider the noblest of tasks, nurturing the minds and hearts of the next generation. In light of the complex problems that face us worldwide, education is more important than ever before.

We are proud that while our curriculum is based in deep, rigorous and purposeful educational tradition, we also foster and develop in our students the ability to blend divergent and convergent thinking ... the basic shared skill of creative people. Creativity isn't freedom from facts, but rather the ability to blend this high level of knowledge with the ability to generate and evaluate ideas.

On a daily basis, whether you visit one of our wonderful preschool classes with students as young as two learning how to read and write, or our sixth grade class, with students engaging in classical literature and learning geometry, you will find a consistent theme at New Vistas. We are seeking academic excellence by challenging all students to strive to reach their maximum level of academic ability and to make use of the unique gifts given to each child.

As directors, we are proud of our staff, our students and our remarkable families!

EXPERIENCE IS GOLDEN!

We thought you would be interested in knowing about the aggregate of experience we have on our New Vistas teaching staff.

It is amazing to think that our 39 teachers have been teaching for 771 years, and 435 of them have been right here! Our talented and wonderful office and support staff provide additional invaluable experience.

We have an extremely low staff turnover, which speaks not only to the academic expertise of our teachers, but to the fact that we are a 'family of educaors', whose goal is to join with your family to create an ongoing program of excellence for your child.
