British International School of New York

British International School of New York

The British International School of New York was established in 2006 on Waterside Plaza, an upscale development on the banks of the East River in Manhattan complete with views of sea planes landing and taking off and the United Nations Headquarters just up-river.

Facilities include an on-site swimming pool, secured playground, gym hall and Smart Boards in every class-room. French is taught from nursery all the way up the school with other languages available as after-school options.Individual music lessons are also offered in addition to the class lessons, and a Summer Camp is run through the months of June to August.

The enrollment at the school continues to grow year on year leading to continued expansion of the site. The student body is a mixture of British ex-patriots, American nationals and students from countries spanning the rest of the globe. The students are both boys and girls and range from three years old at nursery up to fourteen years old.

The school teaches a mix of the English National Curriculum blended with the methodology of the International Baccalaureate. This combination is unique in New York and deemed to offer a strong mix of academic rigour, transdiciplinary learning all within an intimate and nurturing environment.

The British International School of New York offers rolling admissions, so that children can enter the school throughout the year, as long as there is space available in their specific year group. This is particularly helpful for families who have been transferred internationally at short notice.

In September, The British International School of New York will be opening a new campus adjacent to the main school which will house a science laboratory, art studio, and three new class rooms specifically designed to meet the needs of the older students as they head in to Middle School.

The school is the sister school of Abercorn School in London, England.
