Our final tour the International School children invite the UN guide to visit is their school. After all, when children come from 67 countries all over the world, speaking all sorts of languages it is quite likely to be a rather special school. Right now, the school is in a very old unattractive building. But the students try to make it as cheerful as possible with brightly colored painting from their art classes. The children introduce the guide to their director, teachers and senior class President. And then they visit language classes, social studies classes, and art and music classes showing how the variety from all over the world affects them. They also introduce the guide to the way that the traditional dance from India and Ceylon are kept up even in New York as girls prepare for a dance recital at a school assembly. Finally, they are all given a glimpse of what their new school will look like when they finally get their own United Nations International school especially designed to take care of children from everywhere.
