Safety & Democracy at New Roads School

Student leaders a New Roads High School describe their school as safe and/or democratic through pictures and tell why they chose certain locations, people, or events.

Although students have to apply to get into our school, which may seem undemocratic on the outside, the reason they do this is to promote ethnic and economic diversity on our campus. Students that are not able to afford the annual tuition are offered financial assistance as well. Through the pictures you cannot only see the greenness and openness of our schools, but you can see the diversity of the student body and this reflects the democratic natures of the school where everyone’s ideas are highly valued. The school philosophy is also based on environmental issues and you see trees, grass, and flowers throughout the school in contrast with a school that may look like an office building.
