  • KINDERGARTEN - 5TH GRADE

    As we gear up for another exciting year, we are thrilled to share some important updates about our 2025 Summer Camp program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

    To better serve our campers and their families, we are restructuring our Summer Camp program to provide even more enriching and engaging opportunities.  Our new program will include expanded themes, a more tailored schedule, and activities designed to meet the diverse interests of our campers.  We’re confident these updates will make the 2025 camp a great success.

    We’re also excited to announce that our 2025 Summer Camp will be led by two amazing co-directors, Nicole Stephenson and Juan Manzanares, two of our Lower School teachers.  Both bring extensive experience in education and youth programming, as well as a shared passion for creating fun and memorable experiences for children.  They are already hard at work planning a summer full of learning, adventure, and fun.

    Registration for Summer Camp will open by Spring Break.  Early registration is highly encouraged, as spaces are limited.  Additional details about the registration process, camp dates, and program specifics will be shared soon.

    We are excited about the updates to our program and the opportunities they will bring to our students.  Thank you for your continued support and trust in us to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your children.

    If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Nicole (nicole.stephenson@thenewschool.org) and/or Juan (juan.manzanares@thenewschool.org).
