Orientation

During their first week at NS, students will partake in an unforgettable orientation at a beautiful and rustic cottage called Harris Farm.

We encourage students to use this time to familiarize themselves with some new faces and learn more about the details of our program. By the time they leave orientation, students will certainly feel refreshed and confident to start their first semester at NS!
