United Nations International School
United Nations International School (UNIS) is the official school of the United Nations, offering an excellent education from Pre-K to 12th grade, preparing students for college and beyond.
Founded in 1947 by United Nations parents who wanted their children to receive an international education, UNIS has become a well-known educational institution. They value each student's unique interests and strengths, allowing them to shape their own educational paths within a diverse community.
UNIS was one of the first schools to adopt the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and award diplomas. Their comprehensive curriculum from Pre-K to 12th grade prepares students for the IB program, giving them the opportunity to study at top colleges and universities in the United States and around the world.
At UNIS, learning is seen as a process that leads to a deeper understanding of concepts, the development of skills, and the cultivation of character. These three types of learning interact and form the basis of their educational approach.
UNIS is accredited by the International Baccalaureate, the Council of Independent Schools, and the New York State Association of Independent Schools. Their curriculum aligns with national standards in math, science, language arts, and social studies.
