The school is a private, co-educational Christian International School.

Admission includes consideration of learning needs, with a doctor's assessment option for learning disabilities (e.g., ADHD, autism, speech delay). A Guidance Counselor is involved in the admissions process, and student support is addressed through the school's policies.

LICSM has no formal country affiliation. It uses U.S.-based K-12 curricula (Abeka and BJU Press) under license, and is recognized by the Philippine Department of Education and is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

The school is Christian, with a Bible-based curriculum and chapel-based activities. The mission is to glorify God, and the school uses Bible verses as part of its framework (e.g., Proverbs 22:6).

The school operates as a day program, open 8:00 am–5:00 pm on Mondays to Fridays. Class times vary by level (N2–N3: 8:00–11:00; K4: 8:00–11:00; K5: 8:00–11:00; G1: 8:00–1:00; G2: 8:00–2:00; G3–G4: 8:00–2:15; G5–G6: 8:00–2:15; G7–G10: 8:00–2:30), with Fridays following shorter schedules.

Leaders International Christian School of Manila uses Bible-based U.S. K-12 curricula, specifically Abeka and BJU Press, to deliver faith-centered instruction across the school. The BJU Press curriculum provides structured core subjects such as mathematics, science, language arts, and history, taught within a biblical framework to promote critical thinking and character development. The school runs Nursery 2 through Grade 10, with Nursery 2, Nursery 3, Kindergarten 4, Kindergarten 5, and Grade 1–Grade 10; Nursery classes have a maximum of 15 students, while Grades 1-10 have a maximum of 30 students. Curricula are fused with developmentally appropriate activities and a balance of traditional and progressive approaches to cultivate life skills alongside academic competencies and Christian values. The program is recognised by the Philippine Department of Education, and LICSM is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). A Moving Up Program/Graduation indicates formal progression through the levels.

LICSM's educational philosophy includes socio-emotional development as part of a holistic education alongside physical, cognitive, and spiritual growth. The aim is to provide a loving, safe, Christ-centered environment where students develop Christian character and leadership in addition to academics. Chapel Time and school assemblies are part of student life and contribute to pastoral care and community building. Teachers are described as facilitators who support each student's social-emotional development and foster partnerships with families. The admissions process notes a Guidance Counselor, indicating counseling support is available to students as part of school life.

The Admissions Policy indicates that a Doctor's Assessment may be provided for learning disabilities including ADHD, autism, speech delay, and other physical disabilities, demonstrating recognition of SEN needs during admissions. This shows LICSM may document such needs through medical assessments as part of the enrollment process. The handbook notes recognition by the Department of Education and membership in the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), which provides a broader framework for school services. The public materials do not describe a dedicated, in-house SEN unit or a formal in-school learning-support staff beyond the admissions process. The exact range of SEN supports offered to enrolled students is not publicly disclosed.

No explicit English as an Additional Language (EAL) program is publicly disclosed by LICSM. The Curriculum page emphasizes a faith-centered U.S. K-12 curriculum (Abeka and BJU Press) but does not list EAL services or staff. The Inclusive Community page describes a supportive environment but does not detail any EAL provision. Therefore, no publicly listed EAL program or dedicated EAL staff is described in LICSM's materials.

LICSM emphasizes socio-emotional development as part of holistic growth (physical, socio-emotional, cognitive, spiritual). The Anti-Bullying Policy states that bullying is unacceptable and that victims receive consistent support, with the school prepared to work with relevant agencies to maintain a safe environment. Chapel Time and assemblies contribute to pastoral and spiritual wellbeing as part of the school routine. A Guidance Counselor is referenced in the admissions process, indicating formal counseling support is available to students. Overall, LICSM aims to provide a caring environment that supports students' emotional and mental wellbeing.

LICSM maintains a Child Protection Program and Policy, as listed in the Handbook of School Policies. The Child Safety page describes a bullying-prevention stance and a mechanism to support victims, with collaboration with relevant agencies to ensure student safety. The handbook also includes a documented process for incidents and communications with parents (Documentation of Incidents; Parent-Teacher Conferences). The admissions process references a Guidance Counselor as a contact for safeguarding concerns. The materials show a formal safeguarding framework, including anti-bullying and child-protection policies.
