The mission of The New School for Leadership and Journalism is to promote the principles of knowledge, leadership and service. The New School for Leadership and Journalism is committed to creating critical readers and writers, skilled in oral and written communication. We feel an obligation to address the academic, social and physical needs of our adolescent students, and to provide a variety of experiences in which students can achieve success. Our students develop leadership skills through pro-active citizenship and community service, and they understand how these skills can transform an individual, a community, and a society.
