autumn speaks to students at assembly

Welcome to New Directions Learning Community- Home of the Huskies!  I am honored to be the principal of this incredible school. NDLC holds a special place in my heart because I was involved in the group of teachers who helped establish it, and my husband and I chose NDLC for the education of our three daughters. 

Our school exists to build compassionate, empathetic, independent kids who know they can impact the world.  This doesn’t happen alone - it requires every individual in a child’s life to purposefully work together for their success. We believe that building  strong relationships between the school and families are key to a child’s success. We know that children are naturally curious, and we want to encourage that curiosity by giving them engaging ways to learn. We will teach them how to think critically, solve problems, and grow leadership skills so that they can be ready for the world they will inherit.    

The staff at NDLC believes that all students deserve the education of a lifetime (Calkins, 2019) therefore, we are continually learning and growing through collaboration with all stakeholders and by engaging in professional development so that we have the necessary skills to empower and teach our students. We welcome family and community partnerships. A collaborative effort will enable us to reach our collective and individual goals and celebrate the achievements of our students. 

Please come visit our school, where excellence and a sense of belonging are always our top priorities! 

With Husky Pride,

Autumn Steif
