Léman Manhattan Preparatory School Offers New Private Bus Service from Brooklyn.

Created By Brownstoner

Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, located in New York City’s historic financial district, is just over the river — and Brooklyn families are sending their children there.

Today nearly 20 percent of Léman families live in Brooklyn — the number of preschool and elementary students from Brooklyn has particularly spiked.

To accommodate the increased demand, starting in the 2020-2021 school year, Léman will provide private bus service to students from Brooklyn in kindergarten and up. According to Paige Murphy, head of marketing and communications, the bus service will differentiate the school’s offerings as many schools run only Manhattan service.

“Bus service would provide families with convenience and flexibility, and current families have expressed interest in bus service,” said Murphy.

A sister school of Collège du Léman, founded in 1960 in Versoix, Switzerland, Léman Manhattan is an International Baccalaureate World School serving 900 students from toddlers through grade 12. Its globally minded curriculum — with instruction in Spanish, Mandarin and French — underscores the school’s commitment to building global citizenship from an early age.

With a diverse student body, hands-on approach to learning, an active focus on community service, and opportunities to travel overseas, Léman has been preparing its students for an interconnected world since 2005.
