Nearly four decades ago, The New Community School was founded to ensure that students who learn differently were not left behind. The school is one of only a handful of schools nationwide designed to serve students with specific language learning difficulties in grades 6-12.

Under the leadership of Head of School Julia Ann Greenwood, the school has helped more than 800 area youth, sending 85% of its graduates to college. These students have defied the statistics, which show that only 5% of students with learning difficulties will pursue higher education. The small class sizes and unique approach to teaching that includes remediation through the senior year enables students to build their language skills, while simultaneously tackling a college preparatory curriculum.

To learn more about dyslexia and the New Community approach to education, visit www.tncs.org, call (804) 266-2494 or find us on Facebook.

Although I more than likely will not do that for a couple of more weeks, after school starts back in so that I can have larger blocks of time to paint. Until then you can see the finished under drawing below and I will get to work on the next under drawing for another painting, this one is of a beautiful roof line from Charleston , South Carolina.
