US school attended by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter set to open London academy
An American school attended by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ daughter Suri is planning on opening a London academy.
The elite 'Avenues: The World School' is scouting potential sites for its first branch outside of the US after enlisting the help of property experts Savills.
It was founded by former Esquire publisher Alan Greenberg and former Yale University president Benno Schmidt, who raised $85million to develop the first Manhattan campus inside a refurbished warehouse building.
It is understood founders are looking at sites in Earls Court and near the new US Embassy site in Battersea for its London branch.
Its New York branch charges parents £29,400 ($43,500) a year and offers Spanish and Mandarin to nursery age pupils.
It has been oversubscribed since it opened in 2012 and has proved increasingly popular with wealthy hedge fund managers, tech entrepreneurs and fashion designers.
Children are given iPads from the age of five and are taught digital citizenship alongside lessons in social skills and academic pursuits.
