Academic Programs

The United Nations International School provides an international education that emphasizes academic excellence within a caring community for kindergarten through twelfth grade students from families of the United Nations, as well as from other families seeking a similar education for their children. The School promotes the appreciation of the diversity of persons and cultures, provides an optimal environment for learning and teaching, and offers a global curriculum that inspires in its students the spirit and ideals of the United Nations Charter.

Detailed descriptions of our Academic Program are available through the web pages dedicated to the different schools: the Manhattan and Queens Junior and Middle Schools and the Manhattan Tutorial House (HS). The Curriculum pages provide a way to view the same academic program by subject in its full K-12 sequence.
