The British School of NY is really the only way to keep my child focused on an international curriculum that can translate back to the UK. There aren't any other choices in NY that can do what this school can.

There is a very active and sweet PA- they also organize a lot of fun parent events!

I would 100% recommend the British School for International or British people looking for a great place to send their kids. It is so welcoming and pleasant, and I know my daughter has grown leaps and bounds since we have been here!
