As Meritas' U.S. flagship, Claremont students will enjoy a close partnership with internationally-renowned College du Leman, located in Geneva, Switzerland, as well as Leman International School in China.

As a part of Meritas, New York parents no longer need to wait for a globally-focused education for their children. They will enjoy it immediately. Meritas students and teachers have access to unmatched international learning and leadership opportunities such as the International Student Government Summit and Meritas "Touchpoints," which promote cultural literacy and language fluency. These factors give Meritas students experiences and world knowledge that contribute to their college applications and life success. Meritas students also develop relationships with exceptional students from around the globe that form a powerful life-long network.

"I am pleased to welcome the students, parents, teachers and staff of the Claremont community to the Meritas Family of Schools," Mac Gamse, CEO of Meritas, said.

"After thoughtful consideration, we have found a great successor to carry on the work we've done here at Claremont. Over recent years, Claremont Preparatory School has developed into an institution with a personalized approach to education, and Meritas has the experience to continue to move the school in this direction. Meritas is made up of thoughtful, global educators and impressive students that will bring new resources and high school curriculum development, as well as an international network to Claremont students and faculty," Michael Koffler, Chairman and CEO of Met Schools Inc., said. "We look forward to making this transition period as smooth as possible for the entire Claremont community."

Claremont Preparatory School, established in 2005, currently enrolls more than 500 New York City students and was founded and previously owned by Met Schools Inc. As a private, pre-K-12 school located on two campuses in Manhattan's Financial District, Claremont offers state-of-the-art facilities designed by educators to provide the best possible educational environment for the 21st century. The campuses include state-of-the art classrooms complete with SMART technology and full audio/visual capabilities, as well as top-notch aquatics centers and gymnasiums, common spaces and cafes.  

"As an educator with 30 years of extensive experience, both in the U.S. and internationally, I realize the benefits a network of schools like Meritas can have in shaping the future of our school," said Drew Alexander, Headmaster-elect. "I am looking forward to working with the Meritas team from around the world to build Claremont into the world-class school I know it will become."

"Meritas has a proven track record at schools around the globe, and a singular focus on achieving student growth," said senior member of the Claremont Advisory Board and Former Chancellor, NYC Board of Education, Frank J. Macchiarola. "I believe they will provide new resources and opportunities to the students at Claremont Preparatory School, and also bring an international perspective that will train Claremont students to become increasingly competitive in a globalized world."

At Claremont, Meritas is committed to supporting the staff through enhanced professional development. In addition, Claremont will have access to Meritas' college guidance counseling program that begins in the 6th grade along with its worldwide network of guidance counselors and their deep relationship with the world's leading universities.
