Progressive Education

Summit Academy uses a progressive, inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning. We are proud to be the only school in The Bahamas to offer the International Early Years Curriculum and International Primary Curriculum. We aim to foster students who are innovative, creative thinkers and problem solvers. Our program is rooted in the principles of constructivism and constructionism and prepares students for the future of work. Our curriculum offers our students a solid foundation upon which they are able to build at the high school level.

While we empower our students to become the best version of themselves, we also promote a culture of caring and kindness.

Beautiful Campus

Summit Academy boasts one of the most beautiful campuses in the country!. We are located adjacent to Lake Waterloo in a historic 10,000 square foot building (part of the former residence of the late Sir Stafford Sands). In addition to 12 air-conditioned classrooms, we also have access to a swimming pool located within our campus. We currently offer K2 through Grade 8 and offer our students a small student/teacher ratio. Our school’s maximum class size is 16 students. All preschool classes also have a learning assistant.

Huge kudos to their teacher, Mrs. Heather Taylor, for expertly facilitating such an engaging and dynamic unit! 🚀 ... See MoreSee Less
A little peek into our recently held Candylane Marketplace.Our Grades 3–6 Summit Stars stepped into the world of entrepreneurship, applying to run their own student-led booths, selling goods, and gaining firsthand experience in managing a business. The event was fully subscribed, with a waiting list. With guidance from our amazing Vice Principal, students explored marketing, pricing, and money management in a way that felt both real and empowering.Thanks to the incredible support of our school community, the majority of our students were completely sold out by the end of the day! This was such a proud moment for everyone involved. Even more meaningful, every student donated a portion of their sales to a previously agreed-upon charity, reinforcing the value of giving back and social entrepreneurship.And as you can imagine, now that our Summit Stars have had a taste of running their own businesses, we’re already being asked… when can we do it again?🥳🤩 ...
