Overview
At The New School, we do work that really matters-to our students and to the world.
TNS students follow a dual curriculum; much of their time is spent in rigorous college preparatory academic classes and about one third of the school day is dedicated to community-engaged learning.
Our core values are: build community; focus on growth; collaborate; take responsibility; and be brave.
The Children's School is a learning community that serves preschool through grade 8 students. At TCS, every program, teacher, and experience is intentionally designed for the developmental needs of children and young adolescents. Students have the time and support to grow in confidence, discover who they are, and build the academic foundation and character they'll carry into high school and beyond.
