New Song Community Learning center is part of
New Song Urban Ministries
(NSUM), the community service arm of
New
Song Community Church here in the
Sandtown-Winchester community of Baltimore.
We are based upon the
Christian Community
Development Association (CCDA) model to..."bear
witness to the Kingdom of God by reclaiming and
restoring under-resourced communities".
One
of the Learning Center's objectives is to provide
secure, civil, clean, drug-free and orderly learning
environments for both our children and the adult
population of our community. In a community recently
noted for having the highest murder rate in the city,
New Song has created an environment where there is no
need for school police; where the high school graduation
rate for graduates is 78.9% and is projected to rise to
86.6% this year; where 15 parents and 13 graduates are
currently attending college; and where attendance rates
are 97.4% in elementary school and over 98% in our
middle grades.
