Family Orientation
Get to know the administrators and faculty members who will be supporting your student during a special day of workshops for families on January 15, 2020.
Registration is now open. Please fill out the form to reserve your family's spot. Please note: Your student will register for Orientation separately, so please don't include them in your headcount when registering. In December, we will post a schedule of events that families are welcome to attend.
Family Weekend
This year's Family Weekend was held October 4-6, 2019. Parents and families connected with other New School families and enjoyed a jazz brunch, a boat tour of New York Harbor, resource and activity fairs, and the university's Centennial celebration, The Festival of New. Dates for the 2020-2021 Family Weekend will be announced in summer 2020.
