[The New School] is a great option for people who don’t fit the normal school system and would prefer to have a more holistic and hands-on approach to schooling!

Visiting The New School
There are several ways to become acquainted with TNS — just let us know how you would like to begin!
Start by entering your info on our Inquiry Page
Once you have set up your password protected account, you can self select visits that work with your schedule.
Set up a School Shadow Day
The best way to get a sense of a typical day at The New School is to experience one! You and your prospective student arrive at the start of the school day. Our
Admissions Coordinator will discuss the plan for the day with you while your teenager joins our all school morning meeting. They will be paired with a student ambassador and sit in on several classes to see what a school day looks like here. At dismissal, you’ll return to get a recap of how the day went. Generally, we schedule two of these Shadow Days during the admissions process.
Meet with a TNS Admissions Coordinator
Prospective families may set up a one-on-one meeting with an Admissions Coordinator, to learn about The New School and determine if it might be a good fit for the student. Contact Us to schedule a time to meet that is convenient for you.
Attend an Open House
We host Open Houses throughout the year where prospective families take a tour of the school and chat with current students and teachers. Upcoming Open House dates are published on the home page of the website. Virtual open houses are available.
