Dear Families and Friends,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Pine Street School!
As a parent, educator, and consultant, I know how important it is to find the right-fit school community. Choosing a school is not only about imagining your child’s daily experience but also about who they will become as a result of the environment you choose. At Pine Street, we are proud to provide a place where children are known, valued, challenged, and celebrated, and where families are true partners in the journey.
We are a multilingual International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in Lower Manhattan, offering Spanish and Mandarin immersion from Nursery through Elementary and Spanish, Mandarin, and German through Middle School. As the only authorized IB school in our area spanning the Primary to Middle Years, we are deeply committed to inquiry-based learning, language immersion, and global citizenship. These are pathways to raising confident, capable young people who are prepared to thrive in high school, college, and beyond.
Our curriculum is both rigorous and joyful. Preschoolers might track rainfall data in two languages to better understand environmental impact, while middle schoolers explore technologies like AI and robotics through the lens of sustainability. Learning at Pine Street is meaningful, relevant, and designed to grow with your child.
We are proud of recent milestones, including a dedicated Middle School building at 156 William Street and expansion plans underway at 25 Pine Street. Our downtown location allows students to use New York City as an extension of their classroom. We are also accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for our one-to-one MacBook program and future-forward approach to technology.
Most importantly, our faculty are brilliant educators and caring partners who hold advanced degrees, IB training, and a wealth of global experience. Their dedication to close, trusting relationships with students and families is at the heart of our community.
Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent, or a visitor learning about us for the first time, I invite you to explore Pine Street School. Here you will find not only strong academics, but also the empathy, resilience, and leadership that prepare children to make a difference in the world.
Warmly,
Anna Rita Pergolizzi-Wentworth
Head of School
