Léman Manhattan Preparatory School is a private school located in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The school serves students from early childhood (age 24 months) through 12th grade at two locations in Lower Manhattan.

Founded as Claremont Preparatory School in 2005, it was renamed in 2015 to emphasize it's sister-school status to Collège du Léman in Switzerland.[2] In 2010, Léman joined Meritas, an international network of college preparatory schools; in 2015, it became an affiliate school of Nord Anglia Education as part of an acquisition deal.[3][4][5]

Léman Manhattan Preparatory School enrolls students representing more than 70 countries of origin. As of 2019, tuition for K-12 day students averages $50,850 per year, while the boarding tuition is $91,000 per year.[6]

Curriculum

Léman Manhattan offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.[7]

Each student at Léman Manhattan in grades K through 12 receives a Personal Learning Plan (PLP), focusing on individual students' strengths, documenting areas of growth, and identifying special passions.[8]

Campus

Léman Manhattan's lower school is based at the former headquarters of Bank of America International at 41 Broad Street in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City.[9] and was the original campus.[10] The middle and high school campuses are located nearby in the Cunard Building at 1 Morris Street,[10] and opened in 2010.[11]

Both locations have amenities including swimming pools, art studios, libraries, gyms, music rooms, cafeterias and fine arts performing spaces. The lower school has a rooftop playground.

International boarding

Léman Manhattan is the only high school in New York City with a residential boarding program.[12] In 2012, the school opened its boarding program, with forty students from nine countries in grades 9-12 in its inaugural program.[13] In 2015, Léman had over 100 students participating in its boarding program.[14]

Student housing is located at 37 Wall Street, an apartment building blocks away from the Upper School Campus. Students in the boarding program reside in apartments, with rooms accommodating 2-4 people with a kitchen.

Accreditation

Léman Manhattan Preparatory School is a fully independent, non-sectarian school. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.[15]
