Léman is open for the 2020-21 school year, offering in-person, hybrid and fully online instruction. We invite prospective families to learn about Léman through a Virtual Admissions Tour. While the Admissions Priority Deadline of Dec 1 for Kindergarten, 6th and 9th grade has passed, Léman continues to accept applications on a rolling basis. Please contact the admissions office if you are interested in applying for those grades. Spots in other grades are filled on a space-available basis. Create an account on Ravenna to make tour reservations or apply. [December 16, 2020]
We welcome your interest in Léman Manhattan Preparatory School's PreK 3 and PreK 4 program. The Center for Early Childhood Education at Léman is housed on two newly-renovated, dedicated floors of our Broad Street Campus. Through our play-based program and hands-on learning experiences, children ignite their curiosity and build a sense of belonging during the most influential time in their development. In addition to the STEAM WonderLab, library and swim, our students receive Spanish or Mandarin instruction from native speakers four times a week.
Applicants must be 3 or 4 years old by September 1 of the school year for which they are applying. Please contact a member of the admissions team with any questions. The application for 2021-22 is now open.

Upon receipt of the required forms, our admissions office will contact you to schedule the applicant and parent interviews. Parents will be interviewed by a member of the admissions team. PreK 3 and PreK 4 students will be assessed in a play group setting.
In an effort to get to know your child better, we encourage you to send a video of them taking part is something they love such as singing a favorite song, telling a story, or showing us original artwork – anything that you would like to share which will show us what kind of community member they will be. Your video should be up to 90 seconds in length.
