The school serves students from age three up to fourteen years old. Its facilities include a swimming pool, secured playground, gymnasium, and Smart Boards in every classroom. The school offers rolling admissions, so that children can enter the school throughout the year, as long as there is space available. This is particularly helpful for families who have been transferred internationally at short notice. The school teaches a mix of the English National Curriculum blended with the methodology of the International Baccalaureate. French and Spanish are taught at every level of the school, with other languages available as after-school options. Individual music lessons are also offered in addition to the class lessons, and a summer camp is run through the months of June to August. The school's enrollment has increased regularly, which has led to the school's continued expansion. Recently, the school opened a new building adjacent to the cafeteria which contains an office and two classrooms specifically designed to meet the needs of the older students as they head into middle school. From September 2018 the school launches its Upper School offering the acclaimed Cambridge International IGCSE and A-Level programme to its students. The British International School of New York is the sister school of Abercorn School in London, England. Clubs and extracurricular activitiesThe school has a debate team that participates in the English-speaking Union Big Apple Debate league.[2] Most clubs run from 3:30pm-4:30pm on school days, though some clubs can run to 5:30 or 6:00. The clubs include Arabic, Ballet, Chess, Coding, Fencing, Global Chefs, Ice Skating, Karate, Mandarin, Robotics, Table Tennis and Yoga. Some notable clubs of the school are Empire State of Sound (The school's show choir) and the school play. Which recent performances have included Peter Pan, Wizard of Oz, Bye Bye Birdie and Beauty and the Beast. With casts of up to 70 children from grades 3-8.
