Lennen bilingual school

This is a very poor school. There are very few native English-speaking students, as most of the children are from wealthy French families who do not speak English at all. As a result, the academic standard is extremely low. My son previously attended The Ecole in NYC, and the 1st-grade level at Lennen was so low that he had to be moved up to 2nd grade after only a few weeks.

Additionally, the school lacks its own playground; instead, the children are taken to a public park outside, which is unacceptable given the high tuition. In 2023, we experienced major security issues that involved the police. The director told me outright that she could not guarantee my son’s safety, forcing us to remove him in the middle of the school year. Even though he stayed for less than two months, we were required to pay for the entire year.

Finally, the director disregards feedback from parents and students alike. Her sole focus is maximizing revenue while hiding behind the excuse that the school is 'just an association.

Please avoid this school at all costs, you will waste your money, your kid will not speak English, and your kid’s security might be at risk.
