- Léman offers financial incentives for families who pay tuition in full and provides 3-, 5- and 7-installment payment plans for spreading the balance. Exact installment dates and any administrative terms are set in the enrollment agreement and billing statements.

The school's published timelines state that payment (deposit or payment in full) must clear by the reply deadline for the offer to be held.
Fee payment options
- The school's published materials describe pay-in-full and multi-installment plans (3-, 5-, 7-installments) and financial incentives for full payment; the enrollment agreement and billing statements provide the specific installment schedule and payment instructions. Families follow the billing instructions in the enrollment/enrollment-acceptance materials to complete payments.
If you require these figures presented as pre-calculated per installment for other specific grades or rounded differently, use of the school's enrollment billing statement will provide the exact installment dates, any administrative fees, and accepted payment methods.
