The Essential Nature of the School
NewGate School is an independent, non-profit, international, college-preparatory Montessori school.
As a Montessori school, we nurture intelligence, curiosity, and imagination while supporting and developing each student’s unique talents. Our goal is to prepare students for both university and life.
NewGate teaches universal values, instills a global perspective and responsible citizenship, and encourages an entrepreneurial spirit.
The aim is to graduate young people who are balanced between their knowledge and character: life-long learners, critical thinkers, and active leaders in their local community, their country, and the world.
We are also an International Baccalaureate World School. At every age level, we find a nice correlation between our guiding principles as a Montessori school with those of The International Baccalaureate Program’s IB Learner Profile. The IB Diploma Program (Grades 11 & 12) complements our secondary program,
NewGate serves both its own students and Montessori schools worldwide through its role in curriculum and program development, the embodiment of principles of best practice in Montessori education, and professional development for Montessori school administrators.
In the Spotlight
“I do not believe there is a method better than Montessori for making children sensitive to the beauties of the world and awakening their curiosity regarding the secrets of life.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Author, Nobel Laureate, Montessori Alumnus
“We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.”
MARIA MONTESSORI
