United Nations International School - Manhattan Campus Reviews
Academics and teachers are great, safety measures in the pandemic were anticipated, communication is flawless and the headmaster is very approachable. What drove us to UNIS was the diversity the school offers. This is a real international school, and our sons made friends with kids coming from all over the world. What an opportunity!
The communication from the school with the parents is clear and transparent.
I highly recommend this school!
