Welcome to NEW American School!
NEW American School is the ultimate tool for achievement-oriented junior high, high school or adult students — and it makes learning fun! Best of all, our successful college preparatory, adult diploma, and distance education courses can be completed online.
NEW American School uses a comprehensive approach to education, giving our students the tools needed for success: in the classroom, (at home or at school, whether taking the SAT/ACT, and onto the college application process). Many of our students have graduated early from high school with academic scholarships in recognition of their scholastic achievements.
Why Choose the NEW American School?
As a parent, one of my top priorities is making sure my child gets a good education and ’succeeds’, I am constantly seeking to improve my methods.
Questions like these used to go through my mind:
- My child is doing well, but is it good enough?
- Is there a product, curriculum, program, or method that would work better at helping my child excel?
- Will his efforts ‘pay off’ and allow him entrance and success at a good college?
- Do I have what it takes to teach him through high school?
- If not, then what?

The NEW American School can help make home schooling your junior-high and high school students hassle-free. With NEW, you won’t need to worry about college entrance, scholarships, curriculum choices, or teaching study skills. You won’t have to struggle to grade papers on unfamiliar subjects. (Who remembers calculus and physics?) The NEW Program involves the parents without burdening them. We want to turn a few mature, self-motivated, self-reliant kids into great students and learners. Our vision is to provide a high standard, simple, technology-enhanced educational alternative to conventional curriculums and government-directed education in public schools. The NEW American School is a REAL school, chartered by the State of Texas as a non-profit corporation, a member of the College Board with a recognized diploma. NEW is founded on a Judeo-Christian World View, offering courses in New Testament, Bible and Christianity, Bible Survey, and World Religions as electives.
Bible courses are recommended but not required.
Using the techniques developed by our Founders, Dr. Beasley and Mr. Berg, New American School graduates have gone on to:
- Duke University
- Baylor University
- Texas Christian University
- Texas A & M University
- University of North Texas
- University of Texas at Arlington, and many others
One student actually graduated from Dallas Community College with her Associates Degree two weeks before she graduated from high school.
OUR MISSION
Dr. Kuni Beasley
Greetings,
I’m Dr. Kuni Beasley, Founder and Dean of the NEW American School, Inc. The NEW American School is the fruition of a vision I had in the early 90s. I have taught college courses since 1988 and saw firsthand that many students lacked the academic foundation, the emotional maturity, and even the basic tools to succeed in college. I have been involved with elementary and secondary education since 1994 and witnessed firsthand how conventional programs in both public and private schools teach students a lot of what to learn, but very little on how to learn — handicapping them academically for further education. Recent statistics validate my impression of this handicap. According to Scientific American Mind, December 2007, more than 52% of students who enroll in college do not graduate! More than half drop out! In 1996, I decided to do something about it. I was not going to wait for the education system (public and private) to do something because by the time something was done, I’d be up in my years looking a system that was solving today’s problems tomorrow. I decided to climb out of the “box” without waiting for someone to give me a ladder. I needed to solve tomorrow’s problems today — and build the next generation of leaders who can take care of my country and… take care of me.
We have proven that students can learn better and faster if given the tools and surrounded by supportive grown ups. We have proven that students who learn these tools and follow our program can complete middle school in half the time, complete high school 2-3 years early, and even earn significant college credits before they graduate high school. We have proven that students who pay attention, follow instructions, and simply do the work in a disciplined, responsible manner can and will move beyond the mediocrity of their “peer groups” and assume leadership — first for themselves, and then for others.
We want to develop the next generation leaders who are equipped not only for higher education, but a generation that has the character, independence, self-reliance, and motivation to lead this country in the days ahead. We want to stop raising children and start raising adults… who will take leadership at an early age. We want to find people who do not want to settle for mediocrity for their children and are willing to do something about. If you want this for your student and you are willing to do what it takes to do it, then you need to find out more about us and let us find out more about you, and together we will prepare a path for success for your student. —Dr. B.
