Our Mission
The New School seeks to foster an environment that encourages all students to reach their highest level of achievement. Through our various student services and programs, we emphasize the importance of recognizing and embracing individual differences. In keeping with this philosophy, we are committed to helping students with disabilities obtain equal access to academic and programmatic services. Student Disability Services (SDS) is designed to assist students with disabilities in need of academic and programmatic accommodations as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
