This September marked an important milestone for Nord Anglia International School New York. Situated in the vibrant Gramercy neighborhood, NAISNY unveiled its new campus following a summer of dedicated effort and thoughtful planning. The new, light-filled spaces create a calm and stimulating environment designed to inspire students from age 2 through 14.
The campus was designed to enhance the student experience. Additional windows, upgraded facilities, and expanded amenities, including more bathrooms, support NAISNY’s diverse and growing community. The attention to creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere has not gone unnoticed, with parents and students expressing their appreciation for the new learning spaces.
On September 12, the NAISNY community gathered to celebrate this exciting new beginning. The grand opening featured a red ribbon-cutting ceremony and student performances for an esteemed audience, including VIP guests from the UK Mission to the UN, British Consulate General, and the St. George’s Society. The presence of students and families made the event truly special. Under a warm September sun, the NAISNY ice cream truck added a sweet touch to the day.
“The energy and excitement among students and faculty alike is palpable as you walk the halls of our new building.” said Jimmy Frawley, Principal of NAISNY. “The campus is the perfect canvas for students to make their mark and celebrate their milestones over the coming months and years.”
For 13 years, NAISNY has nurtured young minds at its former location on the Lower East Side. The new Gramercy campus opens a fresh chapter while preserving its strong sense of community, and the grand opening was a testament to this spirit. The event underscored the warmth and close-knit nature of the NAISNY family, with everyone coming together to celebrate this occasion.
NAISNY combines truly personalized learning with the strength of a community. Expert teachers tailor learning to each student’s interests and goals. Exclusive collaborations with MIT, Juilliard, IMG Academy, and UNICEF spark their creativity, global awareness, and a strong sense of purpose.
The result is confident, curious learners who are inspired to think big, act boldly, and make their mark on the world.
This begins with truly understanding your child, not just how they learn, but what drives and excites them. Whether tackling real-world challenges, performing on stage, or collaborating on global projects, every experience builds the skills, confidence, and mindset to shape a future that’s uniquely their own.
We’re excited for the journey ahead and look forward to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow and following their achievements.
“For those of you in the area who haven’t yet visited our campus, please reach out to learn what makes NAISNY special. There is nothing like coming in person to feel the environment and see student-teacher interaction firsthand,” says Theresa Bastrup Hasman, Director of Admissions and Marketing. “We understand that parents have to choose a school with both their head and heart.”
