Admissions Procedure
We welcome your Application for Admission to the New Village School!Thank you for your interest in the New Village School. We are a group of parents, teachers and children who have come together to learn in an environment that is joyous, celebratory, inclusive and inspirational.
Please take a look at the attached Application for Admission. This application is just one step in the process to get to know your child and your family. At the New Village School, we believe that all of the adults in a child’s life are the “teachers” and the relationships we establish, parents, teachers and children, are an important part in setting the tone for the child’s learning experience. The information you provide will help us on this path.
During the application process you will have multiple opportunities to learn more about the New Village School, meet with faculty members and meet with a number of parents to ask questions that are important to you and your family. In the end, we want to help you in deciding what learning environment is right for your child and for your family.
Again, thank you for your time and interest in the New Village School. If you should have any questions while you are filling out this form, please feel free to contact Dvora Ferrell, one of our parent volunteers. You can reach her at 415.289-0889 or email at info@thenewvillageschool.org.
Sincerely,
Meinir Davies, Faculty Leader and Visionary
