      I feel lucky to have found Léman for myself and my daughter after the closing of our beloved k-8 school. Not only is Léman an international school but it strives to grow in inclusivity and diversity, which is important to me as a mom and educator. Besides extremely dedicated teachers and an academic rigorous (but fun) curriculum, my daughter LOVES the rooftop playground for recess, swim class and swim team, the arts, Léman Main Stage productions, athletics and the music program. In a very short amount of time they turned my daughter into a confident reader, writer, scientist, swimmer and performer in theatre and band! Must also say...the food is amazing!

      This school is extremely diverse and globally oriented. As Spanish-speaking parents, this was an important factor when deciding on a school. The IB curriculum at Léman helps to foster these ideas of inclusion, while still challenging students academically, as well as the involvement of the parents through the LCA (for example, the International Food Festival is a big annual event), and even the book choices in the school library reflect this. Our family loves Léman!
      Amazing school! We just started this fall and so far the faculty, staff, and administration has been extremely welcoming! Our children love going to school, and always come back with stories of what they learned, ate (delicious chef-made meals), and did either at the pool, gym, or playground. It is a well-rounded school with a nicely balanced curriculum that combines academic rigor with a great arts program, athletic department, and music program.
