New Springs Schools provide to students with a well-rounded elementary and middle school (K-8) education with special emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and Reading in the light of research-based, proven, and innovative instructional methods in a stimulating environment. Its purpose is to enable students to reach their maximum potential in all subject areas with special emphasis on mathematics, science, and reading using state-of-the-art curricula such as Connected Mathematics Project (CMP), College Preparatory Mathematics (CPM), Foundational Approaches in Science Teaching (FAST), and Academy of Reading. The research literature on these programs has shown that these exemplary programs are effective and accessible to all levels of students, not only high performing students1. Results consistently show that students who are engaged in these programs perform as well as or better than other students.
