Abstract:

Newfound School’s curriculum, resulting in a majority of its graduates attending schools such as Yale and Oberlin, was partly inspired by the decade it existed. While complying with the state’s educational standards, the school founded in 1971 added real-world experience in novel ways. Included were courses such as oceanography; town hall-style to discuss current events; students exploring the city during free periods.
