Suri Cruise has been signed up to the Chinese language course at her new school Avenues in New York City.
A source told RadarOnline: "Suri is going to be learning Mandarin. She is in the programme for the Lower School which focuses on Chinese, and this is a great foundation for her."
Six-year-old Suri recently started attending the $40,000-a-year private school which has a rooftop playground, along with a main gym that includes full-size basketball and volleyball court.
It is part of a series of "world schools" and will also have branches in China, India, Africa and Europe, along with other US cities.
Katie and Suri made a fresh start New York following the actress' split from Tom and the school is just a few blocks from their apartment in Chelsea.
Tom's attorney Bert Fields recently revealed the 'Rock of Ages' star was calling Suri twice a day as he wants to play a big part in her life even though he is busy shooting a movie in England while she is in New York with her mother.
He said: "Tom has been in England shooting a film. He calls Suri every day, sometimes twice a day.
"He loves Suri and is a constant presence in her life. As in the past, when he's shooting in a foreign country, he has to rely on daily phone calls."
