Application Timeline for the 2027-28 School Year
Unlike many other private high schools, The New School offers families an early decision option for those who know that The New School is their first choice for high school. The early decision option is available on a rolling basis for any family that has completed all application steps including a student visit and is ready to sign a contract. If you are interested in this early decision option, please indicate that on your application and communicate with the Director of Admissions as soon as you’ve decided. Early Admissions decisions can be made any time between November and February.
