Welcome! 你好! Bienvenidos!

Thank you for considering Pine Street School for your family. Located in the heart of New York City's Financial District, Pine Street School is an independent Nursery through Grade 8 school where curiosity is nurtured, individuality is celebrated, and children develop the confidence to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our unique educational approach blends the child-centered foundation of Montessori with the globally recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, creating an engaging learning experience that inspires students to think critically, communicate confidently, and become compassionate global citizens. From our Spanish-English and Mandarin-English dual-language preschool programs through the IB Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme, students build strong academic foundations while developing multilingual skills and a global perspective.

At Pine Street School, New York City is an extension of the classroom. Through authentic, hands-on experiences, interdisciplinary projects, and meaningful connections with the city's cultural and civic institutions, students learn by exploring the world around them.

Our close-knit community brings together families from nearly 50 countries, creating a welcoming, internationally minded environment where every child is known, supported, and encouraged to flourish. As a NEASC-accredited school and Apple Distinguished School, Pine Street School combines educational excellence with innovation, preparing students not only for their next school, but for a lifetime of learning.
