Today has been a special day. Our girls visited New Gate School for the first time. Leaving them in the hands of the teachers Mrs. Mary and Mrs Alex was like a feeling of emptiness and pride knowing that they have already grown and must move on to another more independent stage of life. When we came back home and listened to their experiences with their little faces full of emotion and happiness, it was wonderful. Thank you so much New Gate for opening its doors to children and parents. A memory that we will never forget.

The staff at Newgate is extremely patient and nurturing. I am exceptionally grateful for their attention to detail to ensure each child has the opportunity to reach their optimal potential. I love the home style setting and their interest in bringing a global perspective to the area.

Extremely satisfied with the leadership and teachers at Newgate! Great job to all that help make this a great school

After Tayna took control of the school everything has taken a turn for the worse. I will update this if I hear things have gotten better.

Newgate is awesome. We love it for our children

I cannot express enough how much it means to me that everyone at New Gate willing to do anything and everything to help my daughter. If anything positive has come from this experience, it’s how much the New Gate family is concerned about each student and how they will go above and beyond to assist not only my daughter but me. It is valued and appreciated more than any of you realize.

I am a 2018 graduate of NewGate, now attending Georgia Tech and studying electrical engineering. Furthermore, I attended NewGate from 18 months of age- through to graduating high school minus a three year gap in elementary school. That makes 14 years at NewGate for me. I can confidently say that NewGate helped me tremendously to become the person that I am today. NewGate teaches academics, independent thinking, kindness, and most of all has instilled a love of learning in me that will never go away. When I was in the toddler classroom I loved playing with the lock board (basically a wooden board with handles and many locks) and the label maker. As I grew older, I became interested in how things work and was lucky to have many teachers at NG who fostered that interest. In middle and high school I was afforded the opportunity to manage the IT infrastructure, setting up the wireless networks and working on various other technical projects at NG. I was able to choose my interests and explore them more fully in the International Baccalaureate program (high school) where I investigated Kombucha fermentation for my IB Biology internal assessment and shoreline erosion and salinity of barrier islands in IB Geography. At NewGate you feel connected with a community both of your peers and also of your teachers and administrators. NewGate's exceptional drama program is also noteworthy- in which I participated in more plays during middle and high school than I can honestly keep track of (probably about 8). In elementary school and middle school you also participate in a yearly opera, which is an exciting experience for any young child as this is when I first fully realized how much can be accomplished when one works in a large group towards a common goal. In highschool I learned how to plan large scale trips, working with other students and faculty to plan yearly research trips to Washington DC, the Dominican Republic, Denver, Appalachia, New York City, and more. I gained confidence speaking to representatives from airlines, bus companies, and more while also learning how to plan logistics of travel for large groups. Each trip experience helped to create the tight-knit community feeling so unique to NewGate while also fostering an openness to new experience. I haven't really talked about "academic rigor" in a traditional test scores sense on purpose. Getting my IB diploma and good SAT scores is important to NewGate and the teachers will help to push you to reach your academic goals- that much is for sure- but it's not the end goal at NewGate. The end goal there is much more. It's about helping you to become a good person, a person capable of learning well beyond university, and a person who is unique and true to yourself. Additionally, NewGate's academics (especially the rigor of the IB program) prepared me well to take on the STEM class heavy electrical engineering curriculum. As a student now at a University many orders of magnitude larger than NewGate and surrounded by other students from various educational backgrounds, I often reflect on my experience at NewGate and remind myself how lucky I was to have had the opportunity to have such a unique and fulfilling education there. As someone who has spent more of their life at NewGate than away from it- I invite you to reach out to me if you have any questions about any aspect of my experience or about what the school has to offer. Just ask Tim Seldin for my number and mention this review, I'd be happy to take your call.

I hold this place near and dear to me since I went to this specific campus for 3 out of my 4 years here. Very warm and inviting environment and teachers to reflect that. As a student, the teachers have shown much knowledge in their given fields. Since this is the Primary campus (K-6th Gr), I do have to say that Maria, one of the teachers, has an enormous knowledge on child psychology. She also helps children on the Autism Spectrum which definitely notable. I think this place is great for children on the spectrum.
