The New School admits children of any race, color, or national origin. Children with special educational, emotional, or social needs, and children with special physical handicaps or developmental disabilities will be considered on an individual basis.

Prior to enrollment, parents should report special problems to the Director and provide our staff with the results of any previous developmental / educational assessments. Previous school records and teacher recommendations are required prior to the admission of new elementary and middle school students. Prior grades, achievement test scores, conduct reports and attendance records will be taken under consideration for admission.

If, after admission, a child proves to be disruptive, injures other children, or has difficulty functioning within the structure of our program, staff will notify parents and a plan of action will be developed and implemented. Thereafter, if the difficulties cannot be resolved, staff will recommend withdrawal. Alternatives for more appropriate placement or treatment will be explored.

If, after a child's admission, the parent causes undue hardship to the staff or unreasonable distraction from teacher's regular duties, the staff will ask for resolution of the problem. Thereafter, if parental needs cannot be met, staff will recommend withdrawal of the child. Alternatives for more appropriate placement will be explored.
