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.
Léman accepts a limited number of students for mid-year enrollment. We know that situations and family preferences can change mid-year and that families relocate to NYC throughout the year. Please contact admissions@wbilshop.net about openings in your child’s grade, then submit a mid-year application on Ravenna. Make sure to select "mid year 24-25" on Ravenna when submitting an application.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-26 school year. Applications must be submitted on Ravenna.
For admission to PK1 through Kindergarten, Léman offers Early Notification for siblings of current or former students, legacy (a parent or guardian has matriculated at the school), and children of current faculty or staff.
