Logical consequences for inappropriate or uncooperative behavior will be used to help campers learn to comply with classroom and school rules. Parents and campers are required to adhere to our discipline policy to take part in our summer program. Unacceptable conduct by a camper may result in dismissal.

PROGRAM CHANGESThe New School may cancel any camp that does not have an acceptable level of enrollment. Notification of cancellations will be made as early as possible with full refunds given. Every effort will be made to make room for your child in another camp.

The New School is an independent school that respects, embraces, and celebrates diversity in its

curriculum, student body, and staff. The New School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion,

national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, or color in the admission of students, in hiring, or in the

administration of its educational program.
