Letter from the Chair, UNIS Board
of Trustees
Dear Members of the UNIS Community,
Each year, we celebrate the graduation ceremony
of our students at the General Assembly Hall of
the United Nations. This very joyful and inspiring
occasion is significant for our community on many
different levels. It brings together our students,
parents, faculty, administrative staff, family and
friends to congratulate our graduates on their
academic achievements. The ceremony also
marks the end of a successful school year, which
you will see illustrated in this Annual Report.
Most significantly, it is a living example of the
continuing close relationship between UNIS
and the United Nations—a mutually rewarding
relationship that all of us would like to see
growing even further in the years to come.
As you know, Secretary–General Ban Ki-moon
and Mrs. Ban Soon-taek take a very special and
personal interest in UNIS and I would like to thank
them for their most valuable support. My thanks
also to our Executive Director, Jane Camblin, for
her outstanding leadership in her first year at the
helm of UNIS, and to the faculty members, the
administrative staff and the parents for their
significant contributions to the well-being of our
school. I am grateful to my fellow members of the
3
UNIS Board of Trustees for their wise guidance
and support that they have given to the UNIS
family and to me personally, as Chair of
the Board.
I felt extremely privileged to have served you,
the UNIS family, for the last year. It has been an
extremely gratifying and fulfilling period that
I will always very fondly remember. Although
I have left the United Nations to return to my
home country, Austria, I assure you that the
very close cooperation between the Executive
Director and the Board will continue.
I am convinced that the Strategic Plan developed
by the UNIS community, to which many of you
have made important contributions, will form
an excellent basis for a bright and successful
future for UNIS.
My very best wishes to all of you!
In deep gratitude,
Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal
Chair of the Board of Trustees
A Message from the Executive Director
Dear UNIS Community,
I am excited to be writing my first Annual Report
welcome, and honored to be able to reach so
many alumni, family and friends of the school who
have made UNIS the wonderful place it is today!
For those of us who have spent our professional
lives promoting the values and benefits of an
international education, UNIS has long been
regarded as a leading light—a true compass
point—for all other like-minded schools around
the globe.
And so, when I came to UNIS for the 2013-14
academic year, it was no surprise that I would find
a strong school, a school which lived, every day,
the ideals and goals of the United Nations Charter,
a school which radiated energy and purpose,
a school which embodied in its very DNA the
tangible, authentic diversity of peoples and
cultures that make this community exceptional.
Every day, students experience first-hand the
extraordinary richness of a peer group
representing 125 nationalities and 101 languages
spoken in the home, an immeasurably unique
opportunity to better understand the complexity
of the world in which we live.
At UNIS, we seek to graduate young people who
are warm and compassionate human beings, who
are empathetic with others, who strive to bridge
the great socio-economic divide and understand
the world’s difficult ethical problems.
4
To help us achieve this purpose, a community-wide
strategic planning initiative was launched this year
that led us to examine and eventually re-write our
mission statement. Our new statement underscores
our unique relationship with the UN, our goal of
academic excellence and our ongoing efforts to
provide a truly inclusive and safe environment
for everyone at UNIS. Above all, it encourages
and inspires us all to become an active force for
change….a force for A Better World.
The UNIS Fund plays an essential role in helping
us achieve these important goals. As a not-forprofit organization, UNIS cannot operate on tuition
revenues alone. Your generous donations enable us
to continue to offer a wide range of academic and
extra-curricular programs and to keep up with best
practice and innovative design in teaching and
learning. Importantly, your participation in our UNIS
Fund can be leveraged in support of our requests
to foundations and corporations, something we will
increasingly wish to do as we pursue the ambitious
goals of our new Strategic Plan and Master Plan
for improvements to both campuses.
I hope to be able to meet with many more of
you in the weeks and months ahead and thank
you personally for your invaluable ongoing
support of our school, our students, and
our most important mission!
Very best wishes,
Jane Camblin
Executive Director

Humanitarian Projects
queens campus
Helping others is a central theme at the Queens
campus. This year, much of the money we raised
supported the work of UNICEF—proceeds from
the French Breakfast, the J1 market and our art
sale were all donated to UNICEF initiatives. As is
true each year, “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” was
part of our Halloween tradition. The UN Millennium
Goal of ending world hunger also resonated with
our community; we collected food for City Harvest
and, locally, the Briarwood Shelter and raised
funds for “Action Against Hunger.” Our annual
holiday toy drive provided direct support to the
Jamaica Family Center in our neighborhood, the
electronics drive raised money to help build a
school in Nicaragua and “Pennies for Patients”
funded the work of the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. J4 students and their parents not only
collected essential baby supplies for the charity
Baby Buggy, but visited the charity’s warehouse
and helped sort donated clothing by gender
and age.
UN Day Celebration
The UN Day celebration is
always a special day at the
school. Students celebrated
the morning sharing
music and songs with the
community. Parents
provided the most delicious
international food dishes
for their homeroom
students and for many friends and visitors.
Working with such talented, hard-working
students adds enormously to the wonder of the
day, and this year our students, especially those
new to the school, excelled in every way.
Art and Music
In February our Junior 2s traveled to the
Museum of Modern Art. They received a guided
tour at the museum and saw paintings by Claude
Monet, Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso. Our
students then worked in the museum’s studio,
analyzing how artists created “spaces” and used
a variety of landscapes as models. They used
templates, felt-tip pens, watercolor pencils and
then made the previously dry colors flow by
painting over them with water.
For our annual Winter Concert, students sang
and played their way through a medley of festive
songs from around the world. Through songs we
paid tribute to the life and work of Nelson
Mandela, whose humility and courage are an
5
example to us all. The Queens Middle School
String Ensemble joined UNIS Manhattan for an
unforgettable performance in the “Festival of
Orchestras” at Carnegie Hall.
Theater Arts
We have developed a theater arts initiative to
supplement, enrich, and ultimately to teach our
students the extraordinary connection between
literature and the arts. To glean valuable lessons
from the treasure trove of cultural events that
occur in New York City, middle school students at
the Queens campus participate in trips to
see Broadway productions and take part in
workshops with professional Broadway actors.
Trips included productions of The Lion King,
Matilda, Aladdin, Twelfth Night and Newsies. In
addition, our 8th grade students not only saw a
stunning performance of Romeo and Juliet, but
also had the pleasure of a Shakespeare workshop
with John Basil, the artistic director and founding
member of the American Globe Theatre. Our
students are absolutely thrilled to have the
opportunity to learn music, choreography, speech
and diction from some of Broadway’s best, and
to integrate the study of literature and the
performing arts in an exciting and meaningful way. Sustainability
UNIS Queens Middle School students attended
a composting workshop given by NYC Compost
Project representatives from the Queens
Botanical Gardens. They learned why it’s so
important to compost: to reduce landfill refuse
and help grow great organic fruits and vegetables.
They also learned how the bacteria and organisms
help to break down the material into great soil.
After the classroom lesson, students brought
material saved from their lunches and went out to
the new garden area for hands-on instruction with
our new compost bin. Compost made here will
help to fill our garden beds, and the rich soil will
help to yield a bountiful crop. With the cooperation
of our food service provider, Butter Beans, and
all UNIS Queens students and staff, we will now
reduce the amount of waste we discard and put
it to good use in our garden!
Earth Day
UNIS Queens celebrated Earth Day in our new
Environmental Center. Students from the Junior
School learned about vegetable gardening by
planting a variety of vegetable seeds and onion
sets. Students from the Middle School learned
how potatoes reproduce, and planted them in
three areas of the Environmental Center.

Visiting Authors
As part of the Book Fair, students had the chance
to hear award-winning author and illustrator Chris
Raschka who spoke about writing, art and making
books and enlisted the children’s help in creating
dramatic and vocal renditions of his stories. UNIS
Queens was also a stop on the 9th Junie B. Jones
Bus Tour—a national tour that brings children’s
book character Junie B. Jones, live and in person,
across the country to meet her fans. Junior School
students had the opportunity to enjoy Junie B.’s
hilarious antics through live theatrical
performances based on the beloved series.
Camp Greenkill
For three days and two
nights, in an up-close
and personal
encounter with nature,
the J4s learned about
water and forest
ecology, tracking
wildlife, survival skills,
birds of prey and much more. Through games and
various challenges, they focused on cooperation
and team building. They hiked twisted paths with
hidden creeks and waterfalls, crossed a stream
over a thin high-rope, built an outdoor bonfire,
and appreciated the serenity of a lake surrounded
by forests. Every child enjoyed canoeing whether
he/she had experienced it before or was on a
boat for the very first time. They learned about
falconry, while sitting only inches away from
several powerful and beautiful wild creatures,
including a Harris hawk, a turkey vulture, a
peregrine falcon, and an eagle owl. On the last
day at the camp, the J4s and their teachers quietly
walked to Mr. Borlotti’s tree and plaque (lovingly
planted in 2011 by his former J4 students–
now M3s), to honor his memory. We formed a
friendship circle around Mr. B’s flowering
dogwood tree and sang one of his favorite songs,
The Rainbow Connection. Our Greenkill adventure
was simultaneously exhilarating, physically
challenging, peaceful and truly uplifting. Native American Museum
Junior 2s went to Garvey’s Point near the village of
Glen Cove on Long Island. There we met our
wonderful guide who knew so much about tools,
which Native Americans had used at the same
time that the pyramids were built in Egypt. She
showed us how corn kernels were put into wooden
mortars to make maize meal. We learned how a
bow drill functions and produced yellow and red
face paint powder from sandstone pieces. And
finally, we got our chance to make fire with a
bow-like tool and a wooden stick. We also studied
how the Native Americans made arrowheads and
spearheads, and learned about the clothing
they wore in winter and summer. There was a
wigwam in one of the exhibition halls, which was
covered with deerskin and birch bark sections.
We crafted pinch pots and coil pots out of the clay
found right next to the museum and decorated
them with impressions from pinecones, sticks
and the tips of feathers.

Global Stewardship/UN Values
Academic Excellence
The Junior School has been a bustle of activity
with a clear focus from teachers on assessing and
reporting academic excellence to both parents
as well as the administration. Throughout the year
teachers have focused on constant formative
assessment of student growth. This work takes
many forms and is a key component of delivering
an academically rich program. Teachers in J2-J4
have been working with the children on summative
assessment pieces which show the cumulative
growth of the students over the first semester.
The results of this work are reported to parents
through report cards as well as to the Curriculum
Director and Principal, who use these results to
track progress vertically within the division
and through a K-12 lens.
7
As a faculty we continue to focus on this important
area with regular meetings of the Junior School
volunteer committee. In December and January
we were fortunate to have a number of teachers
either attend an off-site workshop with education
consultant Cathryn Berger-Kaye or spend time
with her at UNIS. Cathy’s passion and focus is on
developing with teachers and administrators clear
and authentic Service Learning experiences for
students. As the faculty worked with her, we were
able to identify very simple changes to be
made in the JS curriculum for 2014-15 which
would allow for greater focus and development of
this area. As an administrative team we were
also able to identify the need for this area to be
addressed during the Strategic Planning process
in February 2014.
Parent Events
Throughout the year we have offered a number
of parent events in addition to the traditional
parent coffee sessions. The technology
department offered early morning drop-in
sessions in the CoLaboratory to work on computer
safety strategies for the home. We also held an
Art and Math evening session for parents where
members of our faculty hosted an experiential
evening where integration of Math and Art was
highlighted and explained. December was also
marked by a number of Open House events
for parents.
Technology and Comprehension
Teachers in the Junior School benefited
tremendously from the visit we had during the
Professional Development day by Kristin
Zeimke. Kristin, the co-author of Connecting
Comprehension and Technology, is an Apple
Distinguished Educator, National Board Certified
Teacher and Chicago’s tech Innovator of the Year.
Junior School teachers spent an afternoon working
with Kristin to learn ways of using iPad technology
to seamlessly enhance and enrich the learning
that takes place in their classrooms each day.
Only a week after Kristin’s visit, we shared a
number of successful new projects within the
Junior School: Ms. Marra’s iTravel movie, Ms.
Hunter’s J2 student bloggers, and Ms. Ezuma’s
JA Padlet.
Focused Work on Math
Instruction
We were fortunate to have Chris Natale, one of
the founders and writers of the Teacher’s Lounge
Context for Learning units, come to UNIS and
work with the J3 and J4 teachers as they prepare
to teach this unit for the third year. Chris was
accompanied by teachers from two other New
York independent schools. The conversation was
rich with content and showed great collaboration
on the part of our UNIS teachers. We hope to
host more of these events during the 2014-15
academic year.
Talent Abounds
In an annual event, Junior School students
participated in the evening Talent Show. This
highlight of our year was attended by parents and
grandparents and has likely been tweeted and
shared on YouTube the world over! For many
of our young students, this is an evening not
to be missed...followed closely by the International
Food Fair in May.
International Food and Fun Fair
In May, Junior School families along with alumni
and families from the JA class of 2014-15 enjoyed a
day of fun and food at UNIS. The event was
run by the Parents’ Association and featured
international wine tastings, coffee and pastry
pairings, children selling treats in the children’s
market, a fabulous raffle, crafts in the gym as well
as outdoor games and teachers in the dunk tank.
We had an incredible turnout for this wonderful day!
Schedule and Calendar Work
The assistant principal spent a great deal of time
meeting with teachers to discuss the key elements
of the 2014-15 schedule. While children will
continue to benefit from increased blocks of
homeroom academic time and similar class
lengths for specialist subjects, we will be shifting
back to a five day schedule. We are working
hard to maintain the other gains for student
learning, including lunches in the River Cafe,
J3/J4 Musical performances
The J3 and J4 Orffestra and chorus performed
for families as they came to school one morning
in late February. Opportunities like this present
themselves three or four times during the year,
and the children are always thrilled to perform for
a live audience, be it in the theater or the lobby.
Junior School Author Readings
In April JA-J4 students spent an evening
reading original pieces of their work to parents
and grandparents. The school was full of smiles
and hugs as families congratulated their children
on the amazing growth they have shown this
year in the area of literacy.
8
assembly times and internal blocks of time for
professional development.
The Junior School principal, faculty, along with
the PA and the calendar committee, worked to
ensure a balanced calendar of events for the
2014-15 academic year. With so many wonderful
events taking place throughout the year, we
are working to maintain balance and calm for
students, faculty and parents.
Food Committee
The assistant principal worked with a team of
students, parents, faculty and representatives
from FLIK, UNIS’ food service provider, to
discuss menus and address results of a food
survey conducted in the UNIS community. This
committee also visited other schools to look at
best practice in food service to ensure students
at UNIS are getting quality and efficiency in
their daily consumption of food.

middle school
Connecting with the UN
This year our Middle School students had many
opportunities to make and strengthen connections
to the United Nations. The UN Millenium Goals
were a key focus of our UN Day celebrations. A
UNICEF representative spoke about how the goals
relate to their organization; students then used
what they learned to create chalk art designs for a
collage in the courtyard. These images were sent
as a message of hope to the adults at the UN and
UN agencies working for the Millennium Goals.
Later in the year, a class of our M2 students heard
more about the UN Millennium Development
Goals. After hearing from a guest speaker from
UNDP, and visiting the UN, they were motivated
to think about issues that we are most passionate
about, take action, and make a bigger impact by
teaching others ways that they can take action.
They came up with the idea of creating a report
template that other students could use to call
for action.
The students critically examined the UNDP goals
and then made relevant connections to their
lives. They felt empowered to make changes that
they believed in. Students engaged in research,
drafted and redrafted letters, presented ideas and
asked their peers to listen to the issues. It instilled
a sense of pride and the realization that they were
taking a step to make a change in this world, and
maybe...others would follow using their models.
During a visit from the Secretary-General, one of
the M2 students presented her report and call
for action to eradicate malaria.
Ten M2 and M3 students were invited to meet the
Secretary-General at the triennial conference of
the UN Global Compact Leaders’ Summit. The
students also met the CEO and the Chairman of
the Board of the LEGO corporation, one of several
thousand businesses participating in the Leaders’
Summit. They helped unveil a model of the United
Nations constructed of 90,000 of the company’s
building blocks. The students participated in an
activity on Human Rights, Education, and the
Environment, and asked corporation leaders
questions such as “Why are you doing what you
are doing today and how is this helping people?”
and “ Does the private sector actually participate
in UN projects or simply make donations?”
9
They heard about ideas such as divergence and
convergence and watched a 21st century photo
event. Whether being interviewed by UN press
corps or meeting UNIS Board members, corporate
engineers, or other students from the
French-American school in Larchmont, NY,
these M2s and M3s were enthusiastic, honest
ambassadors for our school and clearly interested
in thinking about how to achieve ‘a better world.’
M4 students, born in and around the year 2000,
are part of the age group called ‘millennium
babies.’ UNICEF has reached out to these
students to participate in ‘Voices of Youth,’ a
project where they, either individually or in small
groups, identify areas of concern for the future and
create projects that reflect these concerns and
connect with other millennium babies around the
world. They identified organizations in New York
City that have some involvement with these issues
on a local level and approached them to gain
further insight into their work. Students presented
their work to their peers in May.
Middle School ‘Celebrating
Learning’ Assemblies
Middle School students gathered before the
December and March holidays to celebrate their
learning. These student-centered assemblies were
an opportunity for our students to take risks and
build confidence. The celebrations showcased a
variety of subjects that enabled all students to get
a ‘peek inside’ other classrooms to see what their
friends do each day. Examples included the
Science egg drop experiment, Spanish
instructional cooking videos, aerodynamic flying
plane project, storytelling, Physical Education
demonstration, and updates from the Environmental
Club. The assemblies opened and closed with
beautiful solo and ensemble pieces of music by
Middle School violin students.
UNIS Middle School and 21st
Century Technology
In September all Middle School students received
their own laptops. Throughout the year students
used these laptops to organize and increase
productivity as well as access information, and
create documents and projects to enhance their
learning. UNIS Information and Communications
10
Technology integrators worked side by side with
classroom teachers, advisors and counselors,
creating lessons to teach our students safe ways
to use the Internet, use technology responsibility
and become digital citizens. Parent informational
sessions were held to provide expert guidance on
how parents can guide kids to make responsible,
respectful and safe choices in the digital
world and beyond.

tutorial house
Co-Curricular Activities
Tutorial House students enjoyed an academically
rigorous year, enriched with a variety of
co-curricular experiences.
In the physical realm,
our soccer, volleyball,
track and basketball
teams all had
successful seasons.
Our boys’ varsity
soccer team reached
the NYSAIS semi-finals,
and our girls varsity
soccer team played in the NYCAL semi-finals. Five
of our boys and girls were selected for the NYC
Mayor’s Cup Soccer All-Star Games, and Coach
De Rosa was named head coach for the
independent schools all-star team. In track and
field, our girls’ varsity team finished first in the
NYCAL Championships, and the cross country
team finished second in the NYCAL Cross Country
Championships. Two of our girls placed first
and third in the PSAA varsity Cross Country
Championship. In basketball, our boys’ varsity
team placed second in the PSAA regular season,
reaching the semi-finals, and Coach Kay was
selected coach of the year by his peers.
The T1 students took their annual canoe and
camping trip along the Delaware River, while
the T2 students enjoyed a winter outdoor
environmental educational experience at Frost
11
Valley in the New York Catskill Mountains. Two
very successful ski trips were also held. The
International Award program continued to attract
a large number of students, and the challenging
bronze, silver and gold-level adventurous journeys
saw them honing their skills as close by as the
Appalachian Trail and as far afield as Nicaragua.
The Arts
Tut House students were as active as ever in the
arts arena with the annual art exhibition, theatrical
performances and workshops, the U-film event
and a plethora of musical performances, the
highlight being a public performance by the Wind
Ensemble and String Orchestra in Carnegie Hall.
Service Learning
As the school evolves its school-wide Service
Learning program, students demonstrated their
continuing commitment to the spirit of the UN
Charter through their community service. They
worked collaboratively on numerous projects
including construction and conservancy, serving
meals in soup kitchens, working with the elderly,
caring for animals and fund-raising for a range
of organizations.
United Nations
In collaboration with the Bridge to the UN
committee, connections with the UN were
strengthened in line with one of the goals of the
Strategic Plan. Students organized, and were
part of, a number of significant conferences and
events. The 16th Annual UN Conference on
Human Rights, organized by the UN, UNIS and
several civil society organizations, brought
together participants from around the world. It
included presentations of human rights
campaigns and student projects and panel
discussions, providing profound insights and
perspectives on equal rights, diversity and
cross-cultural communication for people around
the world. Some students attended the UN
Conference, Genocide: A Preventable Crime,
others were invited to participate in a UNESCO
project on water education and four students
presented at a conference held at the
Scandinavian House to discuss the possibility of
major corporations and charities teaming up to
help children gain recognition and support. In the
thirty-eighth year of UNIS-UN, the students
successfully organized and ran the annual,
two-day UNIS-UN conference in the temporary
General Assembly. The theme was Globalization:
A World of Exchange, an examination of the
socio-cultural effects and repercussions of an
increasingly interconnected world.
Beyond the Classroom
There was increased opportunity for Tut House
students to be involved in activities and events
‘beyond the classroom’ this year. Delegates
attended the National Association of Independent
Schools Student Diversity Leadership Conference,
participating in a series of workshops,
presentations, affinity groups (based on
ethnic and national origin as well as their school’s
region) and networking events led by a diverse
team of trained adults and peer facilitators.
The National Geographic Club hosted a special
assembly for T3 and T4 students, featuring a
representative from an organization called Friends
of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) founded to
promote cooperation and peace efforts in the
Middle East. The presentation focused on the
importance of reviving the polluted Jordan River,
12
highlighting the need for people worldwide to work
together in this effort. Suggestions were made as
to how students could get involved. Students
attended the Economic and Social Council
(ECOSOC) Conference, which focused on the
topic Ending Poverty. After reflecting on this
conference, the students formed a UNIS club,
End Poverty 212, to increase awareness in our
community, while also striving to assist other
communities to break free from poverty.
Language and Cultural Trips
Language and cultural immersion trips were taken
by Tut House students to Spain, China, Japan
and Morocco. For the first time, a cultural
exchange trip was organized with SEK Alborán
School, Spain and also with our sister-school,
UNIS Hanoi.
Class of 2014
Academically, it was a very successful year.
One hundred and thirty-six students in grades
11 and 12 participated in the May 2014
session of the International Baccalaureate
Diploma Programme examinations, taking a total
of 845 exams. Eighty-six Diploma candidates were
registered, and of these, 91% students earned
the Diploma. The average points obtained
by candidates awarded the diploma was 33
(out of 45), and the highest score was 43.

The UNIS Fund
“
The philanthropic support of the entire community enables UNIS to innovate and enhance the learning
experience of each student, year after year. Gifts to the UNIS Fund help the school to pay for the annual
operating expenses needed to educate our students while maintaining the value represented by
its tuition levels.
Every Gift Helps to Support:
Giving to the Unis fund supports the excellent academic
education provided to our children. The gifts also enhance
the social environment in which our children learn and
experience how we believe people from all over the world
should interact: with acceptance and appreciation of
diﬀerence and tolerance for all.
Stuart Rosow and Amy Kuhn

treasurer’s report
report from the chair of the finance and
audit committee
UNIS is committed to fiscal sustainability
and affordability via diligent and conservative
financial management. We are determined to
fulfill our educational mission efficiently while
offering outstanding academics, arts and athletics
at two campuses in Manhattan and Queens. Our
financial health and the generosity of our donors
enable UNIS to attract and retain a world-class,
international faculty and an extremely gifted
and diverse student body.
For the fiscal year ended 30 June 2014, tuition
comprised 95% of total revenue. UNIS also relies
on non-tuition revenue sources, such as gifts to
the UNIS Fund and income from Special
Programs including summer camps and after
school programs. UNIS is focused on increasing
sources of non-tuition revenue in order to minimize
future tuition increases, to the extent possible.
In June 2014, the Board of Trustees unanimously
approved revisions to the UNIS Financial Aid
policy. These revisions broadened the school’s
need-based award criteria in order to make our
program even more accessible to highly qualified
students who will enrich and be enriched by our
educational community, regardless of family
income. As a result of the school’s financial
position and through the generous support of
our community, UNIS provided approximately
$1 million in financial aid assistance to our
students in 2014.
36
In 2014, UNIS invested in Year 2 of its robust
21st Century Technology Initiative by providing
individual laptops for all middle and high school
students. This comprehensive technology
program is designed to create an environment
of equal, digital opportunities where every student
has access to global information under the
guidance of educators working within a creative,
intellectually dynamic educational setting.
The UNIS administration has carefully managed
operating expenses while increasing investment
in professional development and enhancing the
safety and energy efficiency at both our Queens
and Manhattan campuses. By the end of 2014,
UNIS had nearly completed its two-year, $5 million
roof repair project at both campuses, and was
in the process of upgrading security and safety
systems and enhancing flood protection in the
aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
With prudent management of UNIS’ endowment
by the Investments Sub-Committee of the Board
of Trustees, the endowment achieved a market
value of $19 million as of 30 June 2014,
representing an investment return of $2.2 million,
or approximately 13%, for the trailing 12-month
period. On an annual basis, the Board of
Trustees approves the level of investment return
to be appropriated from the endowment for
operations support. For 2014, this amount was
$0.4 million, or approximately 2.4% of the 30
June endowment balance. The continued growth
of the endowment is an ongoing priority for UNIS,
in order to continue to strengthen the school’s
long-term financial profile.
The UNIS community and the Board of Trustees
are grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its very
generous $10 million capital gift received in
2012. These temporarily restricted funds will
position UNIS to launch the next phase of its
Master Capital Plan, and are separate from the
endowment funds. In addition, UNIS students
benefit from world-class Modern Language
instruction, which is generously supported
in part by gifts from Member States including
China, Germany, Italy, Oman and Spain.
Philanthropic gifts to UNIS from parents, alumni,
parents of alumni, faculty, staff and friends of
UNIS have a very meaningful impact on our
ability to innovate and enhance the educational
experience for UNIS students. The 2014 initiatives
such as the enhancement of Queens campus
outdoor recreation facilities, the renovation of the
Manhattan Junior School Library, eight outdoor
environmental enrichment trips for Middle
School and Tutorial House students and new
sports uniforms for all UNIS athletes were made
possible in large part due to the generosity
of the UNIS community.
