• Welcome to The New School

    Visiting The New School's New York City campus gives you a sense of the culture, coursework, and student life at the school. Meet current students and faculty, sit in on classes, have lunch at our cafeteria, and take in the neighborhood. If you're not in the area, check out our virtual campus tour to see our campus from afar. Then, plan a visit to experience firsthand our distinctive academic programs and beautiful facilities.
