The British International School of New York

From the Director:

Welcome to The British International School of New York, a private, independent school for children aged 3 to 14 years old. Situated overlooking the East River at 23rd St in Manhattan our facility benefits from unparalleled water views, spacious classrooms and state of the art technology and resources. At The British International School of New York we offer all our students the best start in their education by providing a caring and inspiring academic atmosphere. In a safe and nurturing environment, students develop a genuine love for learning, quality and academic success.

From the Director:

The British International School of New York is an IBO World School. Its philosophy reflects that of the Primary and Middle Years Programs of the International Baccalaureate. The IB Primary Years Programme, for students aged 3 to 12, focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. The IB Middle Years Programme, for students aged 11 to 14, provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to embrace and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, and become critical and reflective thinkers.

At The British International School of New York differentiation is at the heart of successful and engaging learning. It is embedded within the manner in which our teachers and learning assistants work with our students on a daily basis.

The school's distinctive curriculum combines the high academic standards of literacy and numeracy found in the British curriculum with the globally focused teaching methodology of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IBPYP) and Middle Years Program.

The in-depth, fast-paced, traditional disciplines of the British (English) National Curriculum are taught through the dynamic, inquiry-based, interdisciplinary teaching approach of the IBPYP and MYP. This unique curriculum creates a well-grounded, dynamic learning environment. Pupils taught in this manner become confident, independent learners.
