Draper, UT
Newcastle Preschool Draper Utah

In its third decade educating Salt Lake County children, the Newcastle School was carefully designed from the ground up to do precisely what it does today... provide an academic and social stepping stone between the intimacy of the home learning environment and the much larger classes of Utah elementary schools. The school is artfully structured to provide a warm, comfortable environment for learning while at the same time, it is a lively, busy place with just enough activity around to prepare children to thrive in a larger school. Additionally, the school has all the elements to provide a comprehensive, well-balanced academic experience for every child. Newcastle is respected state-wide for its focus on educating the whole child.
