The 4th and 5th grades ate located in the "Renwick Gem" of Calvary Church at 277 Park Avenue, between 21st and 22nd Streets, while the preschool is at 206 Fifth Avenue between West 25th and 26th Streets in the NoMad neighborhood, where the school has 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) with a 33-year lease.
As of 2011, each class has around 16 to 18 students, and each grade level has one class.
History
The school opened in September 2009, making it the third French international school in Manhattan. Yves Rivaud, who had been the head of the Lyceum Kennedy, founded École Internationale. Rivaud stated that he decided to create the school because Manhattan needed another French school, and he believed he would easily fill the school's enrollment upon opening.
In 2014 the school leased its preschool facility from Transwestern, for $60 per square foot per year. This allowed EINY to add middle school grades to its Main Building. The school rented the entire 206 Fifth Avenue building, owned by Torneau owner David Wexler and managed by the Gural family.
Tuition
As of 2011 the annual tuition was $24,600 ($26190.27 according to inflation), a rate that, among Manhattan private schools, was relatively inexpensive.
