Newfound School is named after
Newfound Lake located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The lake
is unspoiled, pure, and surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is a very
peaceful place. Likewise, Newfound School, in Carrollton, Texas
is a place of learning and a source of inspiration in a peaceful
setting. Our school is designed to provide meaningful instruction and
learning in a caring, nurturing atmosphere.
Newfound is a school with a challenging academic focus, and a social
skills component as an integral part of the curriculum. We serve students
in grades (PreK-12), and have programs for ages two through twenty-five for learners with learning and/or behavior challenges. Our
specialties include: Autism, Asberger's, PDD, Emotional
and Behavioral Challenges, Bipolar, ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Fragile X, Medical Challenges, and Physical Challenges. Students with other
needs will be considered on a case by case basis. Newfound's curriculum is comprehensive. We
have a small student to staff ratio to insure individual attention. A
learning plan based on individual strengths and weaknesses is developed
for each child. Newfound's Executive Directors, Dr. Marsha Guernsey, and
Dr. Bill Robb have Doctorates in Education, and many years of experience
with regular and special education. Executive Directors are "hands on"
and actively involved with all aspects of the school.
Our campus
includes a large play facility with modern playground equipment. Newfound offers a Fall Festival, a very active student council that teaches leadership and service to the school and the community, clubs including a Spanish Club, and fun events. Newfound is a school
that requires parental involvement. We welcome all races
and religions. Children come first at Newfound. We are committed to the success of your child. We teach to strengths; not weaknesses.
