TakING THE NEXT STEPS

PARENT AND FAMILY RESOURCES Welcome to the Family

Your student may be the person attending The New School, but we still consider you very much a part of the New School family. All family members play a vital role in championing The New School around the world. We offer extensive resources to familiarize parents and families with the university and campus and provide information on important academic calendar dates and university policies.

If you’d like to get started, visit the New Students page on our website. There you’ll find our New Student Checklist, which you and your student can complete together.

Our resources for families don’t end there. A special orientation for the families of on-campus students in August introduces you to the teams that will support your student throughout their education. Family Weekend in October offers you insight into your student’s academic and co-curricular experience. Our family newsletter and online communities provide regular updates on happenings at The New School as well as ideas for encouraging your student in their newfound independence.
