Reimagining Preschool Education

The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) is a child-centered and research-informed curriculum specially designed for children aged 2-5. It acknowledges best practices and aligns with the developmental needs of early childhood education, empowering teachers to deliver a multidisciplinary curriculum. Our exceptional team of early childhood educators engages in extensive professional development annually, guaranteeing the successful execution of our play-based preschool curriculum.

Beautiful Campus

Beautiful Campus

Summit Academy takes pride in its picturesque campus, situated adjacent to Lake Waterloo in a historic 10,000-square-foot building that was once a part of the residence of the late Sir Stafford Sands. Were you aware that our parking lot was previously a sprawling rose garden? Our campus features air-conditioned classrooms, a library, multipurpose rooms, and access to a swimming pool on the property. Additionally, we have recently upgraded our playground facilities.

At Summit Academy, learning happens in an environment that feels safe, positive, and genuinely encouraging, one where Summit Stars are supported as they grow into the very best versions of themselves. What we love most is that the relationships formed here don’t end at graduation. We see it time and time again:-students who move on to other high schools and remain close throughout their adolescent years-college students who still share a deep friendship that began right here at SummitThose connections matter. They speak to a culture of kindness, respect, and belonging that stays with our students long after they leave our campus.Alongside a strong, world-class academic programme, we work in true partnership with parents to raise pretty amazing kids, children who are not only confident learners, but good people. And that, to us, is just as important as any grade or achievement. ... See MoreSee Less

Our fourth graders have embarked upon a new International Primary Curriculum unit called"Making Waves". From pasting Junkanoo hats in the classroom to stepping into the heart of culture at Junkanoo World, our students are learning that sound and light are everywhere, especially in Bahamian traditions! As we explore how sound is created through vibrations and how light interacts with color, movement, and materials, students are making real-world connections through Junkanoo music, costume design, and drum making. Creating their own goat skin drums allowed them to feel the science of sound, while seeing how bright colours and reflective materials come alive in motion helped them understand light in action.This is what meaningful, hands-on, culturally connected learning looks like. ...
