INSTRUCTIONS TO THE STUDENT: Please fill out this part of the application without assistance. Your own answers, written in your own words, will help us get to know you better. If you think that your responses to the questions on the Student Application do not give a complete picture of who you are, you may also include creative work (a short story or poem, copies or photos of artwork, a website you designed etc.) or anything else that you think might be helpful. Feel free to send links or scanned copies of your work to admissions@tnsatlanta.org.

At the New School, we are working hard to create a healthy place to learn, and we are looking for students who want their lives to start now, not when they graduate from high school or college. Something that can have a really adverse effect on a school community, especially a small one like ours, is if students are using drugs or alcohol. So we’re not going to tolerate them. Are you willing to abide by The New School’s policies against their use?*
- YES
- NO
