To see and experience the world twice over. To constantly seek deeper understanding and broader knowledge. To be able to choose any path they desire. These are the objectives we strive to instill in our students through our bilingual IB High School program, while ensuring each student is prepared for success at university and in the global workforce.
Our High School program, developed in partnership with Léman Manhattan, is an extension of The École’s French-American dual curriculum in 9th and 10th grade and transitions to a bilingual IB diploma program in 11th and 12th. The IB diploma is recognized as one of the strongest college preparatory programs worldwide and is an impressive qualification for college applicants. Léman High School with The École provides a rigorous curriculum for high school students interested in pursuing a dual-language French program. Students enrolled in the program have the benefit of all the resources Léman has to offer, including a robust literature, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and athletics high school curriculum, with the added advantage of electives taught in French by The École teachers.
Agile minds
Making connections
In continuity withThe École dual-language curriculum, our high school program with Léman, cultivates globally-minded, principled thinkers through the IB approach to learning. The IB focuses on building knowledge, skills, and independent critical and creative thought to help students make connections between areas of study, in a similar way our students were immersed over their years at The École in not just two languages, but two learning systems, gifting them with multiple perspectives, approaches, and tools.

Léman High School with The École is an innovative and dynamic place where students are agents of change and demonstrate a commitment to service and sense of purpose.

It is recognized as the worldwide gold standard for academic excellence and a sought-after credential by top colleges and universities. Léman High School with The École not only prepares students for the IB Diploma, but adds the French-American language and culture proficiency that ensure our students stand apart and are fully equipped to choose and succeed in the next path they take.
