British International School of New York (BIS-NY)

The British International School of New York (BIS-NY) is a leading private international school set in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, overlooking the East River. Founded in 2006 at Waterside Plaza, BIS-NY serves students from age 3 through 18 with a distinctive blend of the English National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. This dual approach ensures academic depth and breadth, combining rigorous subject knowledge from the ENC with the inquiry-based, globally-minded pedagogy of the IB. Small class sizes allow teachers to nurture each student's individual strengths and build genuine confidence. The school offers rolling admissions throughout the year, making it particularly welcoming for families relocating to New York at short notice. With a diverse international student body and world-class teaching staff, BIS-NY prepares students for entry to top universities in the UK, US, and beyond.
