Coming to New York City’s Financial District is a school guaranteed to leave a legacy. Stationed in the remarkable and world-renowned Trump Building is the Pine Street School, which held its grand opening July 17, 2014. The new pre-K – 8th grade school held a preview of what it will bring to the table when it opens in September, and the building was filled with excited families looking forward to what the Green Ivy School has to offer.

Pine Street School is the second in the Green Ivy organization–the first being located in Battery Park–and it was developed by Jennifer Jones, Ph.D. with the mission to “nurture people who can live and work successfully in the 21st century and be responsible and active local and global citizens.”

The school is also focused on becoming a contender for the Primary Years Programme from the International Baccalaureate: an educational institution dedicated to students reaching their full intellectual, personal, and emotional potential. Pine Street School boasts their students are well-connected to the world, because the world is their curriculum.

The Pine Street School is accepting applications for potential students, and the staff is excited to share the redesigned and rejuvenated space to FiDi families.

“Pine Street School is a breath of fresh air educationally, experientially, and architecturally,” Jones said. “It’s an open, joyful environment that creates lifelong results: children who are engaged, invested and compassionate citizens of the world.”
