School Reviews

ANY for me is synonymous with family! Her father usually takes her to school but I have to say one of my favorite tasks is taking her myself. When my child walks through the school doors and everyone knows her name! It melts my heart. In a day in age where most schools only care about test scores and our children have become another number. You can rest assured that in IANY that is not the case! ANY allows my daughter to fully immerse herself in her various developmental stages while providing positive interactions and allowing her to optimize her best self! Through small classroom sizes, great teachers and their modality teaching. Many of the children at IANY actually are sad when they miss school. That's something I had never seen before until arriving at ANY. I think that's a testament to the school!

At the International Academy of New York, you can see how great the school is when the kids want to go to school and don`t want to miss a day of school. My daughter, who's currently an ANY student. She is thriving in the smaller classes with personalized attention. Our household does not speak Chinese at home, but my daughter`s knowledge of Chinese is growing every day, she loves learning about the Chinese culture through the language and arts. Very strong community feel. The diversity in the school is great. During these unique times, the school did a good job of keeping our kids safe and healthy.
