Léman Manhattan Preparatory School is a proud member of the Independent Schools Admissions Association of Greater New York (ISAAGNY). Founded in 1965, ISAAGNY aims to ensure orderly, professional, and equitable admissions processes at member schools: we do so by observing a shared admissions timeline, engaging in professional development to hone our collective craft, exchanging resources and best practices, and more. The resulting spirit of cooperation serves schools, families, and nearly 30,000 students across greater New York.
Limited openings remain for the 2025-2026 school year. Please submit an application on Ravenna as soon as possible, then the admissions team will contact you about next steps. Léman accepts a limited number of students for mid-year enrollment (starting school after October 1, 2025). We know that situations and family preferences can change mid-year and that families relocate to NYC throughout the year. Please contact admissions@lemanmanhattan.org about openings in your child’s grade, then submit a mid-year application on Ravenna. Make sure to select "mid year 25-26.”
The application for the 2026-2027 school year and Fall Tour registration will open on August 25, 2025. Applications and tour registrations must be submitted on Ravenna.
