John Paterson School Elementary School educates Pre-kindergarten through fourth grade students. With a population of over 475 students, John Paterson has maintained its traditional charm while meeting the expectations and demands of a 21st century education. We are characterized by a strong sense of community and high expectations in all that we do.
The Mission of John Paterson School is to provide learning experiences that support, challenge, and inspire our students to meet or exceed academic, social, and physical standards. We accomplish this in a caring and collaborative environment that is strengthened by diversity, where we recognize and celebrate each child’s development, learning style, and cultural background. Through the combined efforts of teachers, students, families, and members of the Newington community our students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to make a positive impact on our democratic and global societies.
