Curriculum

Each student at Léman Manhattan in grades K through 12 receives a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). The PLP is a resource for students as they progress through the academic year by focusing on the students' strengths, documenting areas of growth, and identifying special passions.^[5]

In 2014, Léman Manhattan became one of four private schools in Manhattan to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, recognized worldwide.^[6]

After evaluating hundreds of applications, the school accepted forty students from nine countries and three continents from grades 9-12 in its inaugural program.^[7] Students are fully immersed with the day student population with English Language Learning support. In 2015, Léman had over 100 students participating in its boarding program.^[8]

Léman Manhattan's middle and high school campuses are located in the Cunard Building (1 Morris Street) in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City,^[9] and opened in 2010.^[10] The lower school (41 Broad Street) is blocks away in the former headquarters of Bank of America International,^[11] and was the original campus.^[9] Both campuses have amenities including swimming pools, art studios, libraries, gyms, music rooms, cafeterias and fine arts performing spaces.
