The New Century School offers a high-quality individualized education in a supportive environment. The preschool program follows a Montessori curriculum, stressing choice, learning from peers, and the cultivation of concentration. The elementary program takes a modified Montessori approach, featuring small mixed-aged classes, technology, arts, and hands-on science.  School-wide, we focus on teaching children to be gracious and kind to one another.

At New Century, we strive to take full advantage of the sensitive period for language acquisition, the wonderful window that exists before about age 7 or 8 when a child can learn a second or third language with little effort.We begin with complete language immersion in either Spanish or Mandarin Chinese for the toddler classes, then transition to partial language immersion and daily language classes for the Pre-School and Elementary classes.

The New Century School is committed to providing each child the opportunity to become an independent, secure and balanced human being. Each child cultivates his or her natural intellectual curiosity while developing leadership skills and the ability to think critically. We embrace the individual and design developmentally appropriate activities and lessons to engage and enrich.

The New Century School is located in the wonderful, lively neighborhood of Fell’s Point in Baltimore City in the former location of the Mother Seton Academy.  Our location is convenient to the residents of Southeast Baltimore as well as to families who commute into Baltimore to work.

Word of the Week
