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.

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."
