"The NEW School inspires children to learn with wonder & confidence in a faith-filled, small-class setting. Blending academic excellence, nature immersion, project-based learning, and mindful tech use, students engage in real-world experiences—from entrepreneurship and the arts to outdoor exploration. As a school pursuing the IB (MYP), The NEW School nurtures curious minds, leadership, and character—empowering children to live with freedom & purpose. Ideal for families seeking a Christian, holistic alternative."
"The NEW School is set apart by integrating Christian values with a dynamic, hands-on education that nurtures the whole child. Our students spend 2 outdoors daily, (rain or shine) engaging with nature as an immersive classroom that fosters resilience, creativity, and wellness. We emphasize real-world learning through monthly experiences and expert-led workshops, ensuring students develop practical skills, confidence, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Our STEM and computer lab programs prepare students for a tech-driven world while balancing this with sustainability and organic living practices, instilling responsibility and ethical stewardship.
Character formation is at the heart of our education. By weaving biblical virtues into academics, we cultivate leaders of integrity who are prepared not just for success, but for a purposeful, faith-driven life. We cultivate wisdom, nurture faith, and inspire purpose in every child equipping them to lead lives of integrity, contribution and joy."
"Our commitment to a holistic, experience-based education means we prioritize depth over breadth in our curriculum. Rather than following a rigid, standardized approach, we focus on hands-on learning, outdoor immersion, and character formation, which means we intentionally deprioritize excessive testing and rote memorization in favour of real-world application and mastery of concepts.
Our emphasis on nature and sustainability means that while we embrace technology as a tool, we do not make it the centrepiece of our learning environment. We encourage students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity through outdoor exploration, entrepreneurship, hands-on projects and arts.
Small class sizes come at the tradeoff of fewer extracurricular clubs than a large institution might offer. However, we believe that by integrating leadership, business, and faith-based community engagement into daily learning, we provide an education that is both meaningful and transformative."
"Covid was the catalyst for The NEW School’s vision of freedom-centered education. As schools shifted to restrictive online learning, children lost more than academics—they lost curiosity, connection, and independent thought. Many families sought an alternative that prioritized critical thinking over compliance. In response, The NEW School was founded to restore freedom in education, allowing children to learn through experience, exploration, and faith, not rigid systems. Our Christ-centered, hands-on approach builds wisdom, resilience, and real-world skills, moving beyond standardized curricula and excessive testing. From the start, we’ve prioritized small class sizes, outdoor immersion, and entrepreneurial learning, helping students become confident, purpose-driven leaders. Expanding into a dedicated space allowed us to enhance STEM, sustainability, and real-world learning—always keeping freedom, faith, and personal growth at our core. The NEW School was built for new earth children"
"Students who thrive at The NEW School are curious, hands-on learners who flourish in a dynamic, experience-based environment. They enjoy outdoor exploration, real-world learning, and creative problem-solving, rather than being confined to textbooks and standardized tests. A great fit for our school is a child who is curious, ask questions, and engages deeply with their learning. Our students develop entrepreneurial skills and a strong moral character, in a community that nurtures faith and growth. Families who resonate with our mission value freedom in education and want their children to grow in wisdom, resilience, and virtue. They embrace a healthy, sustainable lifestyle, appreciating our focus on organic living, outdoor immersion, and a balanced approach to technology. They prioritize faith, character, and hands-on experiences over conventional academic pressures and believe education should prepare children not just for success , but for a meaningful, purpose-driven life."
"We advise families to carefully consider whether The NEW School aligns with their educational philosophy and values. Our approach is hands-on, experiential, and rooted in faith, which may not be the best fit for families who are not yet ready to embrace alternative education and trust its non-traditional methods. Our school emphasizes real-world learning, outdoor immersion, and experiential education, which requires families to trust in the value of freedom and exploration over conventional, rigid structures. Families who are looking for a more test-driven or highly structured environment and schedule might find it difficult to adjust to our flexible, student-centered model. Also, if a family is not aligned with the principles of faith, sustainability, and holistic learning, they may find that our Christ-centered mission and focus on organic living and balance do not resonate with their values. Essentially, The NEW School stands as a disruptor to the conventional education system!"
"Families choose The NEW School for our unique approach that blends academic excellence with faith, character development, and hands-on learning. Our dynamic, outdoor-focused curriculum allows children to learn through nature and real-world exploration, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional, classroom-bound models. Parents value our personalized, student-centered environment, where children grow at their own pace and are encouraged in their curiosity and creativity, free from rigid structures and excessive testing. They appreciate that their children develop not only academic skills but also leadership, resilience, and a strong moral compass through our focus on entrepreneurship and biblical values. Our commitment to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle resonates with families who prioritize well-being and health freedom. Parents also appreciate the strong sense of community and trust we foster, where learning is a partnership between school, family, and faith."
"The NEW School is known for going against the traditional current and re-imagining education. At our core, freedom is everything—freedom to learn, freedom to explore and freedom to create. Our students are not just following a standard path; they are breaking glass ceilings and doing things that few others do. From creating poetry and launching businesses to stepping into their full creative potential in theatrical masterpieces, our kids are free to express themselves, think critically, and push boundaries. We empower them to be innovators and entrepreneurs, helping them become confident, independent thinkers who are shaping their own futures. We instill in our students that they are made on purpose for a propose, thus connecting them to a greater force and a standing as a lightpost along their path of self-discovery in achieving a life of joy and purpose. The NEW School is also an International Baccalaureate (IB) Candidate School, offering a rigous internationally recognized diploma."
"An underappreciated aspect of The NEW School is our prime location with access to Humber Trails and Weston Lions Recreation facilities. Students enjoy exclusive access to private tennis courts, an indoor ice arena, a full turf soccer field, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, splash pads, outdoor gyms and more, offering unmatched opportunities for physical activity and skill development.
Additionally, students can nature bathe, fish, and immerse themselves in nature, strengthening their connection to the natural ecosystem surrounding us. This combination of recreational and natural spaces enhances our hands-on, freedom-based learning and provides a rich, balanced environment for growth in ways other schools can’t match. The numerous health benefits of children being free is nature is undervalued as well. Children who connect with nature and their bodies are happier, healthier and better prepared for success in the world."
"Families may be surprised by the sheer variety of experiences we offer at The NEW School. Beyond our core academic program, students have access to tennis lessons, chess, sewing/knitting, musical theatre, piano, French, skating lessons, fishing, and art classes, including painting, drawing, and other creative mediums. These unexpected opportunities allow students to explore their creativity, build new skills, and grow in areas they might not have anticipated. Our commitment to hands-on learning and freedom-based education means that every day is an opportunity for personal growth and discovery, making the experience here much richer and more diverse than many families initially expect. Because of our dynamic days children genuinely enjoy school, so much so, that continuums are built between school and home life and the lines of when a child is 'learning' becomes blurred allowing a continuous state of discovery and growth. We seek to 'ignite a fire' - a love for learning in each child!"
"Recently, The NEW School has made several exciting improvements that align with our commitment to providing a dynamic, hands-on education. We opened a brand new state-of-the-art bright and expansive campus in September 2024, which has allowed us to expand our space and offer more opportunities for growth. Alongside this, we’ve introduced specialized STEM equipment and a state-of-the-art computer lab, ensuring that our students have the tools they need to thrive in today’s tech-driven world while still nurturing creativity and exploration. Grades 4+ students begin computer labs weekly to teach them how to steward technology ethically. Also as a school we have began the process to becoming an International Baccalaureate School to offer a world renowned high rigor diploma program to our students."
"In the next five years, The NEW School aims to become a fully certified IB School for the MYP. This will allow us to offer a more rigorous, globally recognized academic program that aligns with our philosophy of developing critical thinkers and entrepreneurs who are equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing world. One exciting change is the creation of an outdoor garden and adjacent play structure as well as an outdoor ice rink and garden classroom at our new Kingdom Street campus, offering students more opportunities to connect with nature and integrate sustainability into their learning experiences. This will further enhance our commitment to holistic, hands-on education in an environment that fosters growth, creativity, and environmental stewardship."
