British International School of New York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Overlooking the East River, The British International School of New York opened in September 2006. It offers a mix of the British National Curriculum, blended with the methodology of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program, an enquiry-based approach. The school currently serves students from Nursery (2.5 yrs) through Year 6/5th grade. The student body is 47 percent British, 26 percent American and 27 percent international. Weekly activities include swimming, games, music and French. The school occupies three floors at Waterside Plaza on the East River off of East 25th Street. In 2008, the school will expand on its current premises to include science labs, art rooms and additional classroom space for the older grades. BISNY offers rolling admissions. BISNY's neighbor is the United Nations International School, directly adjacent and to the south.
