Introduction

Kennedy International School offers bilingual education for students aged 3 to 18 across two Manhattan campuses, with a French-English and a Japanese-English program. The curriculum combines the French Ministry of Education guidelines, the Japanese Ministry guidelines, and the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards, and is registered by the New York State Board of Regents. A Pre-IB Track for grades 9–10 leads into the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for grades 11–12, including the DP core—Theory of Knowledge, Creativity, Activity & Service, and the Extended Essay—and six subject groups. The school's AEFE affiliation reflects its French roots within an international network. Founded in 1964, Kennedy International School has grown to serve a diverse, global student body. Facilities include two campuses in Manhattan, and an 11,000-square-foot Upper School expansion on 815 Second Avenue with a new science lab, an art and design lab, and a welcoming student center. Extracurriculars span sports, languages, music, art, dance, and acting, with Academic and Intellectual, Arts and Creative, and Cultural and Language clubs.

This campus is part of Kennedy International School
