Spirit Nights

Learn More

Spirit Nights are a fun and delicious way to support our school! Families gather at local restaurants, enjoy a meal together, and a portion of the proceeds goes back to our school. It’s a win-win—great food, great company, and a great way to contribute to our school community!

We will update our calendar with the list of these events as they are organized.

Meanwhile, please join us for our first one at Panera Bread in Holly Springs on September 26th!

Suggested by the CEC, we’re excited to announce the return of our Spirit Days! Held on the last Friday of each month, these optional “themed days” encourage children to dress in specific colors or outfits. They are designed to add a touch of fun as we wrap up each month and bring our school community together.

Watch this space for a list of upcoming Spirit Day themes!

Holiday Celebrations

Seasonal
Learn More

Our classrooms love celebrating holidays like Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere for students.

We host Thanksgiving feasts, where students share a meal together, and during the winter break season, we focus on the spirit of giving, encouraging students to think of others and participate in acts of kindness. These celebrations are a cherished part of our school culture, bringing students together in meaningful ways.

Each class has their unique plan and schedule for these celebrations, so please make sure to check for messages from your child’s teachers.

Parent Open Houses

Our open houses invite prospective families to step inside our classrooms and experience Montessori learning firsthand. Parents explore thoughtfully prepared environments, observe children working with focus and independence, and see the hands-on materials that bring our curriculum to life. Teachers and current families will be available to share insights, answer your questions, and offer a authentic look at our school’s values and daily rhythm. More than a simple tour, this visit helps you understand our educational philosophy and decide whether The New School feels right for your child and family.
