In today's Feature Friday post, we present to you, Léman Manhattan

Can you tell us something about your school?

Léman Manhattan, first and foremost, is a rigorous academic program. Notwithstanding the interruptions of the pandemic, the School continues to graduate students into some of the most elite universities in the US. 2021-22 academic year saw students admitted to Duke, Cornell, Stamford, and Harvard. 

What types of agents are you looking to work with? 

We are truly an International School. Every year Léman boasts more than 50 nationalities represented in its student body. The Day School draws its students from a diverse set of families living in Manhattan, among them diplomats staffing the missions to the UN and the expatriate community working in the financial industry. We are happy to work with agents across 5 continents to recruit high quality students both for our Day (K-12), and Boarding (9-12) Programs. 

What are your 3 main unique selling points?

- Léman Manhattan Preparatory School offers an exceptional opportunity for a foreign student interested in studying in the United States. As an International Baccalaureate World School, IB approaches to teaching and learning are integrated throughout Léman's academic program starting in early childhood, culminating with the Diploma Programme in 11th and 12th grade. The IB Diploma Programme is a two-year, full-time, academically challenging and balanced program of education that prepares students aged 16 to 19 for success at university and life beyond. It has been designed to address the intellectual, social, emotional and physical well-being of students. IB Diploma students are more than 20% more likely to be admitted to the most prestigious universities in the U.S., including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Duke and Stanford.

- Boarders, who comprise only 10% of Léman Manhattan enrollment, have an opportunity to be part of an elite educational institution in the heart of New York City. Léman is distinguished by a rigorous academic environment, a wide-ranging sports and activities offering, and — critically — a vibrant, diverse, and international community of students, faculty, and parents. Being part of the community of families especially translates to a drastically different boarding experience. 

- Léman Manhattan prides itself in being able to leverage the enormous cultural capital of New York City for the benefit of our students. From world class museums and theater, to summer internships at blue-chip corporations and top scientific research institutions, Léman boarders are able to access a remarkably vibrant living and learning experience in one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities.
