Highspire provides the Grey School with a physical setting for instruction and academic gatherings. The School acquired the campus in Whitehall, New York, in October 2019. Its Manor and nine acres of surrounding grounds support approved classes and events, with access governed through the School's arrangements for each occasion.

In-person study gives pupils time to work directly with Faculty and with the materials or practices associated with a subject. Discussion can continue alongside practical work, and a course may make use of the grounds or other approved campus spaces as part of its instruction.

Course Structure

Physical courses are commonly arranged over two or three days, though the published schedule for the particular offering determines its duration. Pupils should read that schedule and the course description before registering.

An offering may provide concentrated work in an existing course or a particular form of practical instruction. The Faculty member responsible for the course explains its preparation requirements and how achievement will be assessed. Participation should be planned around the complete course, including any work required before or after attendance at Highspire.

The Study Requirements and ordinary academic standards continue to apply where relevant. Attendance at an in-person event carries the academic recognition specified for that event or course.

Credit and Assessment

Credit values are approved through the Master of Studies and stated in the course information. Where an in-person offering carries additional academic credit, that credit must be part of the approved arrangement.

Pupils should therefore check the published credit value and completion requirements for the course they intend to take. Successful participation may include practical work and other assessments directed by Faculty. Credit follows completion of those requirements and the School's normal recording process.

Fees and Registration

Fees and participation conditions are provided with the relevant course or event notice. Review the published terms for tuition, deposits, cancellation, and any associated lodging or meals before registering.

The current School Events page provides information about announced events and their registration arrangements. A course notice may give further instructions where academic registration is handled separately.

Some subjects require pupils to bring particular materials or reagents. The notice or instructor's preparation instructions will identify these requirements. Pupils remain responsible for securing the resources required for participation and should raise questions before traveling.

Lodging, Meals, and Campus Use

An approved course or event may include lodging or meals, or make them available through a separate arrangement. The notice for that offering determines what is included and how any additional provision is arranged.

Sleeping spaces and room assignments are managed by the School. Confirm the available accommodation and check-in arrangements before arrival. The requirements of a shared academic campus continue during meals, breaks, and overnight stays.

Highspire's grounds may provide opportunities for independent study and recreation between scheduled activities, subject to access rules and the directions of the event host or campus staff. Access to Magick Alley or other campus facilities depends on their availability and the arrangements for the event.

Developing facilities, including any planned greenhouse or workshop provision, should be treated according to what the School has actually opened for use. The course notice and campus instructions govern access to the spaces available during a visit.

Preparing for Highspire

Pupils should arrive with the required course materials and sufficient time to complete check-in before instruction begins. Follow the directions provided for arrival, parking, meals, and departure, and respect any private or restricted areas of the property.

Read the Highspire Campus guidance before attending. It explains the responsibilities associated with visiting, studying, or staying at the physical campus. Specific arrangements for a course supplement that guidance within the terms approved by the School.
