My daughter attended Newington from kindergarten through 5th grade (2012-2018). It provided her with a fantastic learning environment, skilled teachers who cared about her success, and a great core group of friends that are still together at RMSA. The school frequently honors and supports academic success in its various forms, has a wonderful library and librarian, offers many clubs and events to suit various interests, and provides its students with worthwhile opportunities like overnight trips to NASA and the chance to try out for a musical like The Lion King. Our overall experience at Newington was amazing!
