Students and faculty of the New City School are housed in a single open room of a reconditioned building in an industrial area of St. Paul. Students come from St. Paul's neighborhood high schools, night school, and Open School. They may attend a nine-week session in the morning or afternoon for 2 1/2 hours. The eleven permanent staff members are assisted by a host of community volunteers, ranging from community members attending a neighborhood storefront college to a consultant experienced in making movies and videotapes. The curriculum is designed to encourage personal responsibility for individual actions and to provide a situation where there are real consequences to student choices and actions. Programs are offered in three major areas: 1) The People's Co-op, which focuses on community involvement; 2) Mass Media/TV Workshop, designed to provide students with the necessary scientific tools to understand the environment and to instill in them a social commitment to use such tools in attempting to solve environmental problems. Each student who enters the School chooses which course of study he will pursue. After the first week, he writes his personal goals for the course. The student and teacher together review these goals and evaluate progress toward reaching them. (JLB)
