An Update from Léman Chairman
Mac Gamse
Léman Community, In June, we finalized the transition of the six Meritas schools joining Nord Anglia Education and Léman Manhattan’s affiliate school status. As such, Léman Manhattan will continue to be led by the same leadership, faculty and staff, teaching the same curriculum, but now with the added benefit of expanded global resources brought by Nord Anglia Education. I will remain chairman of the board, and will continue to serve in the same capacity as I have for the past several years. Through the Nord Anglia Education network, our students and staff will be part of a vibrant global community, have access to expanded resources, and benefit from the support of world-leading educational experts. In addition, we have made great strides during the last few months in our search to find a new headmaster to replace Drew Alexander upon his retirement after the 2015-2016 school year. We have already met several strong candidates – from as close as New York, and from cities around the world – all of whom are capable of expanding upon the strong academic base Drew built, while further developing our IB program and growing the school in the New York market. We continue to receive interest from very strong applicants. Should we decide to present any further candidates to the community, we would do so this fall. More than anything, I want you to know that our focus moving forward through the process remains the same: to provide the best academic experience and educational environment for our students. Sincerely,
Mac Gamse Chairman, Léman Manhattan
