Teachers

Each New School teacher brings a different perspective and passion to the classrooms while sharing a common philosophy about how children learn. Mary Cunningham is the school’s Educational Consultant. Mary, one of the school’s founders, has been instrumental in maintaining the school’s philosophy and purpose since 1988. Prior to The New School’s founding, Mary taught for 10 years at Syracuse Institute for Enabling Education, a model on which The New School was created. The staff and children at The New School are supported and enriched by other adults in the classroom, including a teacher assistant, parent volunteers, retired teachers, work study students from Syracuse University and student-teachers from LeMoyne and Syracuse University.
