Grace Church School is a private school whose original building is located at 86 Fourth Avenue between East 10th and East 12th Streets in the East Village neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The school was founded in 1894 by the Grace Church as the first choir boarding school in New York City.〔, p.136〕 The private day school, which much resembles the school today, began in 1934.〔 Grace Church School's High School Division opened in 2012 and is located at 46 Cooper Square. In the 2015-16 school year, the school opened for the first time as a Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade program.〔Solomon, Serena. ("Village Voice Leaving Cooper Sq. as Grace Church School Moves in" ) ''DNAinfo'' (August 24, 2012)〕〔 In 1947 Grace became a co-educational school and was admitted to the Guild of Independent Schools of New York City. In the following decade the school began to expand its facilities to accommodate a growing student body. From the original 16 choristers, Grace has grown to its current enrollment of more than 725 students drawn from a wide variety of ethnic, economic, and religious backgrounds.〔("Overview" ) on the Grace Church School website〕 While the school has continued its close relationship with Grace Church, since 1972 it has been governed by an independent Board of Trustees, and it is a fully accredited member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools. In 2006, the School became a legal entity separate from the Church, and now owns the buildings at 84-96 Fourth Avenue, including the historic and landmarked church houses Clergy House, Memorial House and Neighborhood House.〔("A History of Grace Church in New York" ) on the Grace Church website〕 The Grace Church School's high school building is located in Cooper Square. It opened in 2011.〔Hollander, Sophia.
