Since 1962, Lyford Cay International School (LCIS) has been known for its standard of academic excellence.
LCIS graduates go on to attend the top colleges and universities around the world, acquiring millions of dollars in academic scholarships in the process. The class of 2019 is no exception.

Students in this year’s graduating class were admitted to European universities as well, including Royal Halloway, Brunel University and the American University of Paris.
The 17 students graduating this year from LCIS were accepted to 43 different universities in five different countries.
These students were also offered a cumulative total of over $4.3M in scholarships through government, university and private awards.
College Counselor Mrs Judy Reiach says, “A parent’s investment in and LCIS education is really a long-term investment in their children's university options and often gets paid back with the scholarships our students earn from the schools, government and private foundations.”
These results were achieved thanks to to the rigorous and prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum the school offers. IB graduates highly sought after by colleges and universities. The school also employs a full-time college counsellor to help students find colleges and universities that are the best fit for them academically and socially.
