The New City School-Pine Avenue

The New City School-Pine Avenue campus is a gem in what used to be an otherwise neglected part of the city. The school’s enormous urban rehabilitation project transformed a blighted, dangerous, boarded-up eyesore into 8,000 square feet of light-filled learning space for 190 students. The three story building, originally built as a medical clinic in 1948, now has a large playground, 10 distinct classrooms, a beautiful organic garden, and grounds that are landscaped with native California plants and trees. The NCS campus has brought much-needed beauty to the neighborhood. Every aspect of the site is geared toward facilitating the learning and development of the students it serves. The campus creates an environment that furthers the New City School mission, reflecting the school’s beliefs about teaching and learning, its values, and the knowledge that people’s lives are enriched through a thoughtful dedication to quality.

The New City School-Long Beach Boulevard

The New City School-Long Beach Boulevard is our newest campus. It opened in August of 2007. This 12,000 square foot building, originally built as a warehouse, now has an open classroom floorplan, a large multipurpose music room and an incredible outdoor play space. Located along side the Metro Blue Line, at the Pacific Coast Highway stop, this school is providing a high quality alternative to the neighborhood. The innovative design has already won praise from education and architecture experts. This light filled space is alive with 220 K-2 and 6-8 students. From its art filled walls, colorful murals and large play space and garden, it is a neighborhood gem in the making.
