September 30, 2026
With more than 70 nationalities represented across our student body and staff, The École will celebrate our diverse, multicultural community in 2026 at our annual Children’s International Festival on Wednesday, September 30.
On this special day, students come to school dressed in traditional clothing or the colors of their home country. Parents/guardians are invited to collaborate with others from their country to host a national stand, offering bite-sized traditional treats for students. Last year, an incredible 87 parents and guardians participated!
- Elementary & Middle School Festival:
9:30–11:30 a.m. on the Open Street in front of 115 East 22nd Street (weather permitting), during each grade’s morning recess. In case of rain, activities will move indoors. - Maternelle Festival:
1:30–3:00 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room on the 5th floor of the Maternelle Building.
Parents/guardians interested in participating can complete this form—the more, the merrier! Photos from last year’s celebration can be found here.
