Welcome to Léman International School Chengdu.
I am delighted to welcome you to Léman International School Chengdu. One of the most important decisions a family makes is selecting a school, and we understand the care and thought that goes into choosing the right school for your child; that is why we want to share with you what makes our school so special and why our learning environment is like no other. We believe that your child will go further and go faster with us, and that there is no limit to what they will achieve.
Léman is part of Nord Anglia Education (NAE), a family of 73 premium international schools in 30 countries. Our shared vision is that all members of the school community, staff as well as students, should Be Ambitious. With our individual approach to learning for every child and by fostering a growth mindset, our students are able to excel and exceed their potential. Your child will achieve more than is possible in any other school, in an environment where they enjoy learning and feel safe and confident to participate, make mistakes and have fun. Our rigorous teaching philosophy, utilising internationally recognised curricula from the English National Curriculum, IPC and IB MYP and DP, inspires academic success and develops successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Our graduates attend the world's best universities thanks to our focus on outstanding academic results, creativity, collaboration and global awareness.
At Léman, we provide students with innovative and transformative learning experiences to help students discover new passions and explore their existing interests more deeply. We are active participants in the CISA and ACAMIS sporting leagues. We offer the Duke of Edinburgh Award Programme and an outdoor experiential education programme. We have a diverse range of after school clubs and activities. As members of NAE our students have access to the exciting Global Campus network, connecting schools and students around the world in collaborative learning experiences and global challenges. We have unique collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT and UNICEF, which provide innovative curricular experiences for our students and exclusive professional development for our teachers. We are proud to recruit the best teachers who are committed to nurturing and inspiring every child they care for. We support them to do this through world-class professional development, supported by Nord Anglia University, amplified by the sharing of international best practice.
Our 50-acre campus is unrivaled in the city with a swimming pool, full-sized football pitches, running track, Juilliard Keyboard suite, STEAM Makerspaces, dedicated art spaces, drama and dance studios. Our parents, staff and students also organise and participate in a range of school events, celebrating Book Day or Diversity Day, which places our school firmly in the heart of the community.
I would encourage you to visit us and see for yourself exactly why Léman is where children thrive socially and academically, and have fun along the way. I will be pleased to meet you and to share why we are the school of choice for so many families in Chengdu.
