Come September, Suri Cruise will attend an all-girls school in New York City, according to The Los Angeles Times.
Katie Holmes, 33, has reportedly enrolled her daughter, 6, in Manhattan's prestigious Convent of the Sacred Heart. The school's notable alumnae list includes Lady Gaga, 26, Jordana Brewster, 32, Paris Hilton, 31, Caroline Kennedy, 54, and the late Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt.
When classes begin, the previously homeschooled Suri will be required to attend Catholic mass every Thursday. Tuition at Convent of the Sacred Heart costs $38,000 a year.
Holmes and her daughter are currently living in a $12,500-a-month apartment in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood. In a previously released statement, Holmes and Tom Cruise, 50, vowed that they "are committed to working together as parents to accomplishing what is in our daughter Suri's best interests." The Romantics actress received primary custody of Suri, though Cruise has been granted visitation rights.

There was this HUGE scandal of a teacher engaging in sexual activity with a student... she was over the age of consent when they got busted, and it couldn't be proved if the relationship had started before that, so he technically didn't do anything illegal & didn't face any criminal charges, but he did lose his job...
And the actual educational part of the school was quite suspect. we had enormous class sizes because the school tried to fit in as many people as possible so they could make the max amount of $$$. And in the final year of HS, if your grades didn't meet a certain cut off point, you somehow got weeded out & asked to leave so you wouldn't bring down the grades of the student body in standardized tests. Or something along those lines. Idk how they managed to do it without getting sued tbh, but it apparently happened to 3 kids in my year level...
Pretty fucked up shit. Somehow, the school to this day still has this impressive reputation and people clamoring to send their children there, so yeah :/
I maintain that I was basically weeded out because I was too poor for what the school wanted. They wanted people from the fancy suburbs versus me from the city and it was no loss to them to have me go to the public school (we'd moved by then so the school wasn't as white trashy). I'm still bitter about it tbh.
Actually, it was the school where Katie went! She's from a rich suburb, they love her type!
