In 1995, a group of courageous educators, parents and children came together to create a school with a simple - perhaps simplistic - assumption: that things that often alienate people from one another - ethnicity, skin color, socioeconomic class - might instead be tools that bring people together. Referred to for years as "a social experiment," New Roads School in Santa Monica, CA became an example of what is possible when people from different cultural groups come together to create a community - to learn together, play together, solve problems together, To this day, New Roads remains a beacon for educators and others: an invitation to students, their teachers, their parents and those from the larger community to show up as who they are, join hands, and make the world a better place for all of us.

The Center is a venue for forward thinking educators and thought leaders to engage the community in conversations on the cutting edges of education, social and economic justice, ecological sanity, and our common future.
