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.
