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

Sometimes the best mornings aren’t perfectly captured—they’re simply lived.
We spent the morning at the creek with Mr. Troy, his guitar, and a whole lot of singing, splashing, and frolicking. What a sweet way to soak up these last little moments of summer before a new season begins. 🎶☀️
