Léman's IB Program Offers the Best Preparation for the Future
How the International Baccalaureate Makes Students Stand Out in College Admissions
As families consider the best educational path for their children, Léman Manhattan Preparatory School proudly offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) program—recognized globally as the gold standard in college preparatory academics.
At Léman, the IB program is more than a curriculum; it's a launchpad for future success.
What Sets IB Apart?
The IB is widely regarded as the most demanding and well-respected college preparatory program available today. Schools in North America are adopting the IB faster and in greater numbers than in any other region. Unlike traditional programs that emphasize memorization, the IB develops critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and intercultural understanding—skills that top colleges and universities actively seek in their applicants.
According to recent studies, students who complete the IB Diploma Program are 20% more likely to be admitted to highly selective colleges than their peers in programs like Advanced Placement (AP). At Léman, our IB students graduate with the confidence and academic foundation to thrive in college and beyond.
Preparing Students for a Global World
Léman’s IB program encourages students to engage with real-world issues, collaborate with diverse peers, and develop a sense of responsibility as global citizens. With a curriculum rooted in international-mindedness and interdisciplinary learning, students are not only prepared for academic excellence but also for leadership in an ever-changing world.
“Our IB program helps students become thoughtful, curious, and resilient learners,” said Maria Castelluccio, Head of School at Léman Manhattan. “They leave our school not just with exceptional transcripts, but with the mindset and skills needed to make a difference wherever they go in the future.”
