Established in 2003, Summit Academy is a co-educational, independent school offering a program of academic excellence to both Bahamian and international students. The school is located on beautiful Lake Waterloo in Nassau, Bahamas and serves students from K2-Grade 8.

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.

The Summit Academy community couldn't be prouder of this Summit Star! Our very own Christian competed in the 2025 Fidelity Bahamas Optimist National Championship over the weekend, and what a performance he delivered!He won first place in his division (White Fleet, ages 10 and under) and impressively placed 8th overall in the Championship Fleet, the most advanced group of sailors. Even more remarkably, Christian was the youngest skipper in this elite fleet!This talented Summit Star shines both on the water and in the classroom, consistently earning outstanding grades. We’re confident that one day, Christian will be representing The Bahamas on the Olympic stage! Please continue to make your family and school community proud. We're cheering for you!Photo credit: Tim Aylen ... See MoreSee Less
