Big Friend, Little Friend & Families
Nantucket New School is committed to nurturing the relationships of students across all grades. Although the bonds that are formed between the older and younger students happen each day in an informal way, two programs further enrich these relationships. Each upper school class has a lower school class to which it acts as a Big Friend. Celebrating holidays, special events, and quiet moments of reading or playing games together, these cross-grade friendships endure through the years and strengthen the fabric of respect and kindness that allow students of all ages to interact with each other in an enjoyable, mutually beneficial way.
In addition, the school is divided in six different Families. All students and staff are a part of their Family for as long as they are at Nantucket New School. Families work together throughout the year to accomplish set goals, to perform community service, and to participate as Families in events such as Fall Field Day, the Winter Olympics and School Spirit Day.
