Francine Delany New School for Children
Francine Delany New School for Children teaches using authentic learning materials and individualized instruction, rather than textbooks and pre-programmed curricula.Students read in self-chosen age- and ability-appropriate novels, write on self-chosen topics, use primary sources for research, and use manipulatives to study math concepts.This method of teaching requires small classroom sizes and a strong sense of personal accountability from each student.
