Our curriculum is delivered in alignment with the principles of Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy. We are a non-sectarian, international community with families and faculty from over 25 countries.
Understanding and respect for the individual, for the Earth and for the human creative learning potential are New Gate School’s core values.

Please read the first page of the Harvard Business Review Blog; How Do Innovators Think? is related to the essential New Gate School education. Please note the last paragraph.
The concern for supporting creativity and understanding the potential of a child are not just New Gate School topics; take a look at: www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

New Gate Gets a Sister Farm
Posted Tuesday June 29 2010
We are thrilled to announce a new program at New Gate that starts this fall. We have formed a partnership with Gamble Creek Farm, a nonprofit training farm in Parrish, to become our sister farm. Just imagine a day during the week when you pick up your child, that you will also pick up a box of locally-grown, organic produce, accompanied by recipes to make cooking and experimenting with new produce, something the whole family can enjoy.
Naturally, in keeping with Maria Montessori's working farm approach, our students will learn hands-on about farming through field trips to Gamble Creek, as well as working in New Gate's on-campus community garden that will begin to take shape this fall.
I encourage you to read the attached press release, visit www.gamblecreekfarm.org and sign up for your share of produce under the JOIN tab. You will also find samples of produce that is harvested, recipes, and past newsletters under the MEMBERS tab.
Thank you for helping to support our new partnership!

| Our personal commitment to Montessori education led us to do a thorough search of schools around the country. Like many other families, we chose to come to Sarasota because of New Gate's excellent reputation and its expanding program through high school. Our children are thriving; New Gate was a great choice. |

I want to begin by acknowledging Paul Wenninger, and thank him for his contribution to New Gate over the last five years. We wish him well. Many of you have known Lorna and me for a long time. ...
