Northwest Arkansas' premier independent school serving one-year-olds through high school.
In 1971, The New School opened in Fayetteville, Arkansas as a non-profit organization with 24 students age three to six. Today, the independent school has more than 400 students from one-year-olds in the preschool through the 12th grade. Over the years, the school has seen substantial growth, in both the program and the leadership, but the philosophy and mission of the school have stayed very much

From Florida orange juice to Louisiana beignets, our 4th Grade State Fair was a celebration of learning, creativity, and fun! 🌎⭐
After researching their assigned states, students brought their projects to life by presenting informational boards, videos, and unique treats or items that represented each state. It was such a fun way to explore the diversity, culture, and traditions that make every state special. Great job, 4th grade!
