Ask anyone who has spent time at St. Andrew’s International School, and you’ll hear words like “community,” “caring,” and “family.” These values are at the heart of who we are. From the moment I first set foot on campus, I was struck by the warm sense of belonging that defines our school. Years later, this atmosphere remains our greatest strength. Here, each student and family is greeted with genuine Bahamian hospitality, treated with respect, and made to feel at home.
At St. Andrew’s, we live our motto, Ethics and Excellence, every day. As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, our curriculum empowers students to embrace curiosity and develop a lifelong love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom. We prepare students to discover and nurture their unique talents, equipping them to excel academically while becoming thoughtful, ethical citizens who make a meaningful impact on the world.
Our legacy speaks for itself. From securing places at prestigious universities worldwide to producing Olympic athletes, renowned artists, and accomplished leaders and professionals, St. Andrew’s has led the way in Bahamian education for over seven decades. While we celebrate our history and traditions, we remain innovative and ambitious, providing cutting-edge opportunities for every student.
International and Proudly Bahamian
Balance is a hallmark of the IB Learner Profile and central to life at St. Andrew’s. While we are a serious place of learning, our school is filled with joy, laughter, and a vibrant array of extracurricular activities. Students form lasting friendships in the hallways, on the playing fields, and through creative and community service opportunities.
As a school that is both International and Proudly Bahamian, we cultivate a global mindset while ensuring students understand and celebrate the rich culture and history of The Bahamas. This balance is reflected in everything we do, from our competitive yet inclusive athletics program to our focus on service learning and the arts.
Our accreditations from the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges affirm our commitment to international standards of academic excellence and operational best practices. Yet, what truly sets St. Andrew’s apart is our students. They are creative thinkers, bold leaders, and principled risk-takers who speak up for what they believe in. Through opportunities to step out of their comfort zones, our students grow as individuals and team players, ready to excel in a dynamic, interconnected world.
A Thriving Community
Our success would not be possible without the dedication of our exceptional faculty and support staff, who go above and beyond to nurture and inspire every student. This commitment is matched by the passion of our engaged parent community and the guidance of our Board of Directors. Together, we create a collaborative and inclusive environment where students thrive.
