College? Yes!

The Same and Different
We talk a lot about what sets The New School apart from other Atlanta high schools. But it’s also important to mention the similarities. For instance, AP classes and challenging academics. Curious about a typical week? Click on this 9th grade schedule which will appear in your downloads. TNS currently offers 9 different AP classes across 6 disciplines.

College Admissions
This week, like most, admissions representatives from six different colleges, hailing from all around the country, huddled with small groups of students, often over lunch. TNS grads are known for deep engagement when they get to college, right off the bat, and college admissions officers are paying attention. TNS alumni attend fantastic public schools like UGA, Ga Tech and Indiana University as well as private colleges and universities like Davidson, NYU and W&L. Students who know themselves end up making great decisions about the right college. Check out our college matriculation data to see where TNS alums are now.

Want to hear more from TNS students? Sign up for our Information Session at Horizon Theatre on October 22nd.

We can’t wait to meet you!
