The École
The École, formerly Ecole Internationale de New York, is an independent French-American school. Offering an international education, it teaches students from 2 to 14 years old in New York City’s Flatiron District.
As a French school, students are taught bilingually in both French and English, making it one of the few hundred bilingual schools in the United States.
The École is fully accredited by the French Ministry of Education from Maternelle through Middle School and is a member of the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) network. It is also affiliated with the Mission Laïque Française (MLF) and a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
The École has over 90 different after-school educational, sporting or artistic activities on offer. It also organizes camps during the October, February, spring, and summer breaks to promote bilingualism. The École students go on field trips to New York’s many cultural and historic institutions, and on overnight trips in the US and abroad. The École Falcons participate in the Confederation of New York Schools and Team Sports volleyball, basketball, and soccer leagues.
The École's elementary and middle school building is located at 115 East 22nd Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, where it accommodates grades 1-8, while the Maternelle preschool is at 206 Fifth Avenue between West 25th and 26th Streets, a five-floor building accommodating pre-nursery to kindergarten students.
As of 2025, The École has a student body of 357. Each class has between 12 and 20 students, and each grade level has no more than two classes.
The school opened in September 2009, making it the third French international school in Manhattan. Yves Rivaud founded École Internationale. Rivaud decided to create the school because Manhattan needed a real French American bilingual school, and he believed he would easily fill the school's enrollment upon opening.
Yves Rivaud retired in August 2020 and was replaced as head of school by Jean-Yves Vesseau. In September 2021, The École opened its first Pre-Nursery class (a bilingual program for 2-year-olds).
