Locations
Main Campus
The Hood River New School campus is centrally located in Hood River, Oregon. Our beautiful, light-filled facility boasts large classrooms and multi-purpose rooms, library, art room & cafeteria, office spaces, outdoor recreation spaces, and much more.
Outdoor Campus
During fall and spring terms, students visit the New School Outdoor Campus for "Fridays at Mitchell Point" as well as electives such as tree fort design and outdoor games! The campus is located on 8 beautiful acres overlooking the Columbia River and surrounded by National Forest. In addition to guided activities of ecological exploration, building projects, forest gardening, and adventure games, students have access to a large spring-fed fresh water pond for swimming, an 18 hole disc golf course, a woodworking shop, a vegetable garden, a commercial-like kitchen, an art barn, private hiking trails, spring-fed drinking water, and a ropes course complete with tree forts and zip lines. New School students past and present have built many of the ropes course structures with adult supervision!
Gorge MakerSpace
Hood River New School students have been working with instructor Jack Perrin at Gorge MakerSpace learning the fundaments of design, building, and engineering. In 2021, students created helpful solutions to some challenges faced by local high school students living with disabilities. Students were busy designing, developing, presenting, and revising their solutions for these very real-world problems.
