Private High School Coming to Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village will soon have a new private high school.
Grace Church School, a private elementary school in Greenwich Village with 412 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, announced Tuesday that it plans to expand with a $25 million high school opening in September 2012.
The high school will be located in leased space on the first and second floors of 38-50 Cooper Square, which is currently used by New York University for classroom space. The high school will start with up to 80 ninth-grade students, and add a grade each year for a total of up to 320 students by 2016. It will be supported through fund-raising and tuition, which is expected to be about $35,000 a year.
“We have seen a strong and growing demand for more high school seats,” said George Davison, the head of school at Grace Church.
Grace Church is planning to offer financial aid to about one quarter of the students. Applications will be accepted in the fall of 2011.
