Katie Holmes enrolled her daughter Suri Cruise in Manhattan’s Avenues The World School, a private school in Chelsea. Up until the age of six, Suri was homeschooled, but Holmes later made the decision to enroll her daughter in the elite New York City school in 2012. Initially, there were rumors that Holmes was going to send Suri to the Convent of the Sacred Heart Catholic School in New York, but the news later broke that they had chosen Avenues.
Welcoming children from nursery through 12th grade, the private school has some steep tuition. E! News reported in 2012, at the time of Suri’s enrollment, the tuition was approximately $40,000 a year plus an additional $2,000 for fees and technology. As of the 2023-24 school year, the tuition at Avenues was $65,850 a year, according to their website.
Part of Avenues’ culture is that students are required to wear uniforms. When she first enrolled, Suri was photographed on a New York sidewalk walking with her mother in her kilt, polo shirt, and knee-high socks, per Us Weekly. The uniform was actually a plus for Holmes, as she didn’t want Suri to stand out from her classmates. “She wants Suri to fit in and be more of a normal kid,” a source told Us Weekly of Holmes’ decision. A uniform would definitely help her blend in with her class.
