The school’s dedication to academic freedom and intellectual inquiry reaches back to the university’s founding in 1919 as a home for progressive thinkers and the creation of the University in Exile in 1933 for scholars persecuted in Nazi Europe. The interdisciplinary education offered by The New School for Social Research today explores and promotes global peace and justice as more than theoretical ideals.

Since 1932, tens of thousands of students have taken courses in economics and social philosophy at the Henry George School, gaining insights into the nature of society and practical solutions for our seemingly intractable social problems. Classes, offered in English and in Spanish, attract students from all walks of life, and all levels of academic achievement. The major program of study, Principles of Political Economy, is comprised of three ten-week courses: Progress and Poverty: First Principles (which is the pre-requisite for all other courses), Applied Economics: The Issue of Globalization and Economic Science: Progress and Prosperity. Our headquarters is a freshly remodeled townhouse with five comfortable classrooms. We're on 30th Street, between Park Avenue South and Lexington Avenue, two short blocks from the Lexington Ave. IRT stop at 28th St. For over seven decades, New Yorkers have made the Henry George School a regular stop for "learning for its own sake" in a friendly and energizing setting.
In a room capped at 30 participants, dancers are given the opportunity to explore movement in a non-competitive, yet highly motivated dance environment. For only a flat rate of five dollars, The Playground allows the dancer to freely experience each choreographer’s styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the plethora of choreographers involved. The Playground provides choreographers with free space to manifest their thoughts onto bodies, refine their teaching methods on trained professionals, and establish relationships with new dancers, fellow choreographers, and prominent presenters. Arranged is the occasion to scope out New York’s most emerging and explosive talent in an unconventional setting. In this situation, presenters are able to study the personalities of whom they commission instead of just the final product.

Who We Are: The costs of treatment-based solutions to diseases are skyrocketing. Billions will be spent in fighting the threat of malaria, Chagas, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis. As the global population grows and drug-resistant diseases become major concerns, the costs and burdens of these problems will steadily become increasingly severe. Impoverished communities around the world will be the most vulnerable. What if there were simple solutions that lessened this burden? What if there were economical solutions that delivered lasting improvements at a fraction of current costs? ARCHIVE Global, Architecture for Health in Vulnerable Environments, believes that housing affects global health in a powerful way. We operate at the intersection of development, health, and architecture. We believe that a better built environment can drastically reduce the burden of disease and death in impoverished communities worldwide. We prioritize design as a key strategy in combating disease around the world. Prevention is the key to reducing the burden of disease. Simple, cost-effective improvements and scalable interventions represent a preventive model that is replicable and sustainable. Our Approach: Research — We investigate how the built environment contributes to public health globally. Awareness — We inform communities about best practices to improve health and reduce the risk of disease. Advocacy — We strive to bring change at a national and international level through changes in public policy. Construction — We believe in the need to design, test, and build practical housing solutions that combat poor health.

Our goal is the same as yours: to make sure you have the help you need to live there, safely and in good health. Our job is to identify and coordinate the health, home care and social services you need.
