About Léman
Morris Street Campus
Housed in the historic Cunard Building, Léman's state-of-the-art Upper School campus is located at 1 Morris Street — steps from the iconic Wall Street Bull and just three blocks from our Broad Street Campus. Constructed in 1921 as the ticket office of the Cunard Passenger Ship Line, this vast limestone building was designated a historic landmark in 1995.
Light-filled classrooms at the Morris Street Campus offer our students stunning 360-degree views of New York Harbor, the city and the Statue of Liberty. This incredible facility also features a research library, art and music studios, multiple technology labs, a café and athletic facilities including a 25-yard pool, full-size gymnasium and fully-equipped fitness center.
SMART Classrooms
As an IB World School, Léman's classrooms are enhanced with the latest SMART technology including computers, specialized software, audience response technology, networking, and audio/visual capabilities to support the academically rigorous curriculum.
Technology Lab
Technology is an essential part of a student's life at Léman and is integrated throughout the curriculum to support students' path to digital responsibility and global citizenship. A range of computer science courses as well as mixed media, digital design, and digital music classes are offered in our state-of-the-art Technology Lab.
Science Labs

The science curriculum builds towards the application of skills to practical laboratory work in the IB Diploma Programme in subjects including Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
Library
The Léman library is not only home to a wide assortment of fiction and nonfiction titles, but also the latest technology and digital resources. Our librarians, who hold ALA-accredited Master's degrees in Library & Information Sciences, collaborate with other faculty to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need during the research process for their IB Extended Essays, one of the core components of the IB Diploma Programme.

Band and Chorus classes are offered in dedicated rehearsal rooms with sweeping views of the Hudson River. Private lessons through the Léman Conservatory Program are conducted in practice rooms where students hone their individual skills.

Inspired by views overlooking New York Harbor, Léman art studios offer our students the space and tools they need to work in a variety of disciplines including painting, ceramics, mixed media, digital design, and fashion design. Participating students can actively explore their creative imaginations through the IB Visual Arts Course.
