The Island School

The Island School is a transformative Semester (100 days) or Summer Term (6 weeks) journey based on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. Students and teachers at The Island School engage in a process of inquiry in order to discover sustainable solutions to real-world problems. Using Eleuthera’s cultural and environmental landscape, students explore their classes outside of the traditional classroom setting through student-centered academics and outdoor programs that support personal growth and leadership development. During a Semester, students will take courses in ecology, applied scientific research, mathematics, literature, and histories. In addition, students will participate in outreach programs that practice a project-based approach to local collaboration.
