* Classroom room rent

During the early April, NCLS principals had a meeting with Newton public school facility department, discussed the classroom rent fee. Since the various utility fee have been increased  significantly, Newton public school committee decided to increase the classroom rent for all current clients annually until 2020, to cover this significant amount of increased expenses. The rent increase will be started from July 1, 2016.

For the current NCLS tuition, which has been used to cover mainly the classroom rent fee and the teacher’s stipend, can not cover the increased rent. In order to cover the increased gap, the school board has decided to increase $10 for all the 2nd and 3rd classes from 2016 – 2017 school year, and the tuition for the 1st classes won’t change.

For all parents who used to play for free at Gym will need to pay $50 each semester if you want to play in new school year.

This class will teach students the concept of whole numbers, multiplication and division of whole numbers, fractions, graphs, angles, perpendicular and parallel lines, area and perimeter. Students are provided with the necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages active thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving.
