Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) will be hosting admissions events this month. Firstly, an information session at the British Colonial Hilton Hotel on 9 November at 6pm followed by an Open House and Campus Tour at the school in Lyford Cay on Saturday 18 November 2pm-4pm. Attending these admissions events is a great opportunity for prospective parents and students to learn more about the curriculum and programmes at LCIS, as well as meet members of the school’s Administration, current parents, teachers and students.
Scholarships and financial aid is available to Bahamian students who display outstanding ability in academics, arts, technology, community service, languages, Junkanoo, sports and other areas. LCIS Admissions Director, Mrs Rose-Marie Taylor shares her excitement for these opportunities, stating: “This financial assistance enables Bahamian students to gain a high-quality international education and to matriculate into some of the best universities in the world upon graduation.”
The benefits of an LCIS education can be seen most clearly through the school’s graduates who annually are accepted to their first-choice universities and, to date, work or study in 24 countries on 6 continents around the world. Still, the success of these graduates is rooted in the full International Baccalaureate (IB) programme which is available at LCIS for learners as young as age 18 months old, starting in Preschool to graduation in Grade 12.
Anastacia Bethel, a Bahamian graduate from the Class of 2007, shares her experience after completing the rigorous IB Diploma Programme at LCIS: “I appreciate that LCIS placed a heavy emphasis on language learning, technology and academic excellence through the demanding IB program. It helped to prepare me for university and career development, giving me a competitive advantage. I enjoyed networking with a diverse group of people every day; from students to teachers to parents, from different walks of life and nationalities. LCIS is a place where international and local Bahamian students are exposed to each other, coming together to learn and better themselves side by side.”
As LCIS moves closer to the construction of a new Upper School campus, many more opportunities will be made available for Bahamian students to be a part of a vibrant community of learners and educators from around the world thanks to the school’s scholarship and financial aid programmes.
