School News: The École is Expanding

Big news for NYC Francophiles! The École (formerly École Internationale de New York), an independent Nursery-8th grade French-American school is expanding!

The school, which is located in the Flatiron District, recently took over the lease of the restaurant that occupied the ground floor and basement of their main building on 22nd Street. This means that construction by architect Barbara Marks on the new space will start in the coming weeks and will include the addition of six new classrooms, several multi-use rooms in the basement, a large préau (covered recess area), and a new lobby. The new space should be completed by the end of 2019.

The Long Island School For The Gifted

A smart start of an educational journey.&nbsp; For over 40 years, The Long Island School For The Gifted has provided an accelerated experience for gifted children in pre-kindergarten through ninth grade, in a nurturing environment where they will be both intellectually challenged and comfortable socially. LISG helps gifted students develop the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for life. Emotional, and social needs of the gifted child are addressed whilst building strong character as part of the commitment to developing the whole gifted child. The beauty of an independent gifted school like LISG is that students can learn and grow with others who are like them.&nbsp; We have found that LISG&rsquo;s whole-school approach to gifted education has benefitted our students both more broadly and more deeply than alternative approaches&mdash;like isolated &ldquo;enrichment&rdquo; activities, single accelerated classes, or simply placing exceptionally intelligent children with older students in higher-grade classes.&nbsp; With gifted peers, students learn in a cooperative environment that provides for their social and emotional development and in which giftedness is valued and nurtured by every teacher and staff member in the school. &nbsp;LISG has rolling admissions. Availability is limited based on the grade.&nbsp; Contact them today.
