middle school students, supports high school preparatory curriculum
and fine arts programming
NEW
YORK, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Green
Ivy International Schools, along with its parent company KSS
Immersion Schools, today announced the expansion of Pine Street
School's middle school campus with the lease of an additional
40,000 square feet. Located at 156 William Street in the Financial
District, the building is minutes away from the school's longtime
home at 40 Wall Street. It will provide additional amenities to
support Pine Street's unique multilingual International
Baccalaureate and entrepreneurship curriculum.
The new space supports initiatives related to science, fine
arts, athletics and entrepreneurship, while also enhancing a
curriculum that prioritizes multilingualism and student agency. It
affords the school the opportunity to further prepare its graduates
to excel as they move into a wide range of rigorous academic
programs and seek to build a better world around them.
"This expansion marks an exciting new chapter of growth for Pine
Street that emphasizes the importance of providing our middle
school students with their own unique space designed with their
needs in mind," said Gabriella Rowe,
Chief Executive Officer at Green Ivy. "The new space is an
investment not only in the future of our school, but in our
approach to nurturing the growth of each student's academic,
artistic, social, and cognitive skills to best prepare them for
success in high school and beyond."
Formerly part of The Blue School's lower Manhattan campus and designed by the renowned
architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, the additional space
features modern classrooms, specialized spaces for engaged
learning, a cafeteria with a green wall for growing herbs and
vegetables, a double-height library, science labs, a large maker
space, a fine arts wing, band room, black box theater, and a large
adult learning center equipped for hybrid professional development.
Also included in the space is a 1,600 square-foot athletics floor
including a gym, locker rooms, and a dance and yoga studio.
Green Ivy is a growing network of language immersion preschools
and elementary schools that empowers students to be global thinkers
and life-long learners. Rowe was recently announced as CEO to
advance the New York brand and accelerate growth across
the United States.
