The Lycée Français de New York (LFNY), commonly called the Lycée (in English, "The French High School of New York"), is an independent bilingual French school serving an international community of students from Nursery-3 to twelfth grade based in Manhattan, New York City. The Lycée is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools and the French Ministry of Education, though it receives no funding from the French government. The Lycée offers a standard French curriculum taught by French-trained teachers. In parallel, students follow an American program, taught by U.S.-trained teachers, similar to what is found in New York City independent schools. Students study for the French general Baccalauréat, the international option of the French Baccalaureate, or a special Franco-American Baccalaureate (BFA), as well as the American High School Diploma. The school has over 1350 students from more than 65 different nationalities. The student to teacher ratio is approximately 7:1. Lycée graduates often attend top colleges and universities around the world with about 50 percent staying in the United States, 25 percent going to Canada, 10 percent to the UK, 10 percent to France, and a growing number attending international joint programs such as Columbia-Sciences Po.

York Avenue Estate
York Avenue Estate

The York Avenue Estate (also known as the Avenue A Estate) is a historic complex of tenement buildings in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, New York, US. The complex occupies a city block bounded by FDR Drive and the East River to the east, 79th Street to the north, York Avenue to the west, and 78th Street to the south. The estate is one of the oldest buildings on the Upper East Side built by the City and Suburban Homes Company, a tenement developer. The buildings, along with the neighboring Cherokee Apartments, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as the City and Suburban Homes Company's York Avenue Estate and Shively Sanitary Tenements Historic District. The York Avenue Estate was also designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) as a city landmark. The York Avenue Estate consists of fourteen buildings, including a hotel. Harde & Short and Percy Griffin each designed two of the early buildings, while the others were designed by Philip Ohm. The buildings are all of the Beaux-Arts style, except for two Gothic Revival structures named for Episcopal bishop Henry C. Potter. They generally have similar details, floor plans, and materials. Except for the eight-story East End Hotel building at the estate's southeast corner, all the buildings are six stories high. The city block had been reserved for the New York Protestant Episcopal School but remained undeveloped into the 19th century. The City and Suburban Homes Company bought the western part of the block in 1901, while the rest of the block was acquired in 1905. Work proceeded in phases from York Avenue eastward and was completed in 1913. City and Suburban owned the buildings until 1961, when the company was bought out by the Diversified Management Corporation, operated by the Scheuer family. In 1986, Peter Kalikow bought all the buildings and threatened to demolish the entire estate. Following outcry, Kalikow revised his plans to call for the redevelopment of four buildings; amid continued outcry, the LPC designated the complex as a landmark in 1990. The complex was resold in 1993 and 1994 to a firm operated by Stanley Wasserman Cos., which renovated it.
