Why Lucaya International School?
Welcome to Lucaya International School
Welcome to Lucaya International School (LIS), a vibrant and dynamic learning community built on a strong tradition of educational excellence. Our success is intentional—guided by our Mission, Philosophy, and Goals, and driven by a shared commitment to providing the very best education for every child and family we serve.
At LIS, our passionate and experienced teachers, leaders, and Board work collaboratively to create an engaging and supportive environment where students can thrive. We are dedicated to implementing programs that promote both academic achievement and student wellbeing, ensuring that every learner is supported to reach their full potential.
A defining feature of LIS is our strong sense of community. With students and staff representing over 30 nationalities, we celebrate diversity and foster an inclusive environment that connects our school to both local and global communities.
We are proud of our students’ achievements and our proven track record of success, with graduates attending universities that are the right fit for them. Our approach is centered on a personalized and balanced education that nurtures academic, social-emotional, and physical development.
LIS is the only school on Grand Bahama accredited by leading international organizations, including the International Baccalaureate (PYP and Diploma Programme), the Council of International Schools (CIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and the Council of International Education (CIE). These accreditations ensure that our programs meet the highest global standards while offering the opportunities of a larger school within a close-knit community.
As we begin our 27th year, we remain committed to inspiring our students—from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 13—to become confident individuals and conscientious global citizens, dedicated to lifelong learning and service to others.
I warmly invite you to become part of the LIS community.
Kind regards,
Vikki Purvis
