The college counseling program also hosts workshops with college admissions officers and an annual college fair. Léman graduates have been accepted to colleges and universities such as Harvard University, Yale University, and Columbia University. Eighty percent of Léman graduates are accepted to highly selective colleges.

The Center for Early Childhood Education is a joyful, nurturing place that sets the foundation for each child's academic, social, and emotional success. Social and emotional development is supported through a play‑based, inquiry‑driven program and a Responsive Classroom approach, including Morning Meeting to help students feel welcomed and connected and daily emotional support to form secure relationships. In PreK 4, students learn to express themselves, cooperate, take turns, and show empathy, creating a nurturing classroom community that supports social growth and academic learning.

A multidisciplinary Student Support Services program includes Learning Support, Counseling, and Nursing. Each division has a Student Support Team of Learning Specialists who collaborate with teachers and administrators to identify interventions and ensure equitable access to all programs, including the IB curriculum. The program emphasizes meeting the whole student—intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically—through a team approach that involves families and staff. Student Study Teams and targeted instructional interventions are used to support students who need additional help.

ESOL includes leveled courses (ESOL 2, ESOL 3, ESOL 4) aligned to CEFR levels B1, B2, and C1, with instruction focused on listening, speaking, reading, and writing and delivered through projects and individualized work. Students are placed using the Oxford Online Placement Test and reassessed annually with the WIDA framework; ESOL placement can be adjusted based on performance, with ESOL becoming optional once a student meets proficiency thresholds.
