“I am strongly disappointed with the lack of healthy and nutritious food provided (coffee cakes, hot dogs, a serving of milk and juice with every meal, not enough fruit and veggies and is any of it organic?) and the lack of physical education. My child who is in 1st grade only received 1 hour of phys ed once a week! Shouldn't children receive P.E on a daily basis? CN claims to support healthy food choices yet their snack machines have cornnuts (highly salted and full of preservatives) and sugary gummy treats! On top of that duringspecial events they offer unhealthy foods such as sugary boxed juice, nachos and other such foods. And don't let me start on the street vendor dilemma--it is bad! Why is it that schools with a majority of Anglo children do not have problems with vendors selling junk in front of their schools!”

“Camino Nuevo is an excellent school, my child is fluent in reading and speaking Spanish and English. The children are given realistic goals for achievement and improvement and are rewarded for their contribution. I appreciate their incorporation of art to educate, though I wish there was more of this. Physical education is also available, but could use improvement. Perhaps yoga could be incorporated as not only a physical, but stress management and/or practice to aid in helping students focus and study better. Math is greatly emphasized and parents and kids are encouraged constantly to practice. Workshops as well as a newsletter with information of how to improve literacy and math are made available to all of us. Teachers are excellent; they care about the children's emotional health and focus on listening and communicating with children with respect and understanding rather than enacting an authoritarian disciplinarian”

“I am a parent and teacher at CNCA. The education is top notch, teachers are dedicated. There are after school sports and dance clubs. There is good access to computer labs that is only getting better. The arts are a regular part of the school day (a refreshing change!) Reading and math are priorities at Camino Nuevo. Teachers teach these well. Science and social studies instruction should be improved. Teachers really get to know students well. In fact, the strength of CNCA is a strong adult-student connection. It is unparalleled by any other school known by me. Finally, parents are super involved. They volunteer, organize, and meet all without too much cajoling. Lastly, I am writing about CNCA Burlington site, although the Harvard site is just as good.”

“Camino Nuevo is a bilingual school (English & Spanish) that offers a great alternative to what the neighborhood schools offer. There is a great sense of community and the school focuses on social justice. Kids get dance and art every week as part of their classes.”
