Life at LCIS

Happiness and ambition — the two pillars of our culture.

We believe no deep learning is possible without engagement and joy. LCIS is a place where children are known, where teachers notice what a parent notices, and where every child is guided to discover what makes them brilliant.

Community

40+ nationalities. 14 languages. One community.

Our students arrive from London, New York, Toronto, São Paulo, Mumbai, Lagos, Singapore, Paris — and from across the islands of The Bahamas. The result is a culture that genuinely celebrates difference, where international fluency is lived, not taught.

This is what families relocating from the world's great cities tell us they hoped to find — and find here.

  • Welcome Buddy programme for new arrivals
  • Mother-tongue language support
  • An active PTA running parent socials, fundraisers and welcome events
  • Faculty band, community choir, and traditions that have run for decades

Beyond Academics

Where the LCIS Way comes to life.

Athletics

Division I-led teams

Our Director of Athletics brings Harvard and UCLA experience to a varsity programme that competes regionally and internationally — Florida, Jamaica, KPMG tournaments, New York. Swimming, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis and more.

Arts

The new Arts Centre

Music, theatre, dance, visual arts. The new LCIS Arts Centre gives students the facilities of a small conservatory inside a school setting.

Service

Round Square service projects

Student-led service initiatives across Nassau and the out-islands. The Round Square IDEALS — internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership and service — are woven through everything we do.

Adventure

Duke of Edinburgh's Award

LCIS is an authorised DofE Award Centre. Students undertake expeditions on Bahamian out-islands and beyond — physical, intellectual and personal challenges that universities and employers recognise worldwide.

Culture

Junkanoo & Bahamian heritage

We are an international school rooted in The Bahamas. Junkanoo, Bahamian history, marine biology of the reefs, the literature of the Caribbean — our students leave with a deep sense of place.

Leadership

Student-led Model UN & debate

Travelling teams in Model UN, debate, business and STEM competitions. Confidence, voice and presence are built deliberately, year on year.

Meet the Community

The best way to feel the LCIS community is to be in it.

We host campus tours for prospective families every week.
