About Small Learning Communities
About:
- Newtown High School is organized into 6 SLCs
- Each SLC has its own theme and a dedicated Assistant Principal, Guidance Counselor, and team of teachers.
-
The goal of SLCs is to afford more individual attention for students and make students more well-known by staff and fellow students in a more personal atmosphere.
- For ninth-graders, non-ELL (English Language Learners) students will choose which SLC they'll want to belong to for the remainder of their High School Career in the spring.
