In 'New Kid' we follow seventh grader Jordan Banks, who loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to his dream art school, his parents enroll him in the prestigious Riverdale Academy Day School, where there are few kids of colour. As Jordan makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale school, he finds himself torn between two worlds - and not really fitting into either. 'Class Act' finds newly minted eighth grader Drew Ellis taking centre stage. Drew is no stranger to the saying "You have to work twice as hard to be just as good." But what if he works ten times as hard and still isn't afforded the same opportunities as his privileged RAD classmates?
