People reports her mother was in the SUV with the nervous first-grader, and Suri was seen biting her nails as they pulled up to an expensive Manhattan private school.
And, of course, the little fashionista started her first day in style: She carried a pink cheetah-print backpack and accessorized with a matching pink bow in her hair.
Back in August, Katie enrolled her daughter at Avenues, a $40,000-a-year private school that caters to the lifestyle of children like Suri.

The school has 20 campuses on five continents, which allows students to travel whenever they please. They can continue their lesson plans at various locations without interrupting their studies.
Avenue's website explains why its educational system is worth the hefty price tag.
"If 'local' schools are the first step in the evolution of schooling and 'national' schools are the second step, the decades ahead are likely to bring the third step: global schools.Thirty years from now there will likely be a number of such organizations. Avenues plans to be the best of this new breed of educational institution — hence its subtitle: The World School."

Good luck at school, Suri!
