Enrollment
We hold tours throughout the year and accept applications on a rolling basis. Most kids begin in August, but if there is space we are happy to welcome new children at anytime. Children must be 2 years old to attend New School and we ask that you take a tour before submitting an application. More information on the enrollment process can be found below.

Scholarship Program
We maintain a scholarship program to support a diverse and inclusive learning community. We believe the strongest educational environments are those in which many perspectives are represented, and that access to high-quality early education should not be limited by economic circumstances. Our scholarship program is supported through several fundraising events held throughout the year. Please reach out to learn more.
