Explore Why Families Choose The New School

At The New School, we’re committed to making a difference in the lives of students. We apply an “ownership” principle to education, which means we teach young learners to take charge of their learning. This leads to increased self-motivation, happiness, and growth. Plus, our right-sized classes, college-prep academics, and thriving teacher-student partnerships bring out the best in every learner.

We invite you to explore our enriching course catalog, where students can choose from a generous selection of fascinating classes — stretching them intellectually and building their skills in preparation for college and beyond.

Intentional Curriculum

We value giving students time to think and learn deeply, with choice and direction, rather than memorization or a hasty pace of instruction. Challenge, for us, is about our student's depth of understanding.

Inclusive Community

We take pride in being a thoughtful community where students feel intellectually excited and appreciated as individuals by their teachers and peers.

Inspiring Teachers

Our teachers reflect kindness, empathy, and a genuine desire to see our students flourish. When students reflect on their New School experience, many say, "I love my teachers."
