At New Roads, learning is considered a fun and meaningful quest to develop strong character, positive intellectual habits, and participation skills needed to become happy, healthy, courageous, and compassionate adults. Diversity has been a prominent component of the school since its inception in 1995. Built upon a progressive educational model, the New Roads curriculum allows students to learn concepts deeply through exploration and trial-and-error. Not only does this build perseverance, but it also develops the critical thinking skills necessary to problem solve in the modern world.
New Roads is a school where students can truly be themselves and follow the passions that they identify throughout their lives. A place where an authentically diverse student population, mirroring the rich diversity of Los Angeles, develops a personal dedication to learning, a respect for independent thinking, and an expanding curiosity about the world and its people.
Student-centered.
Curious.
