Children begin primary school at the age of five, and after 6 years, they move to secondary education which lasts another five years.
While public education is freely available, many Bahamians and expats choose to send their children to one of the many private schools, including three international schools which offer the International Baccalaureate program:
- Lyford Cay International School, Nassau
- St. Andrew’s International School, Nassau
- Lucaya International School, Freeport
- There is also an exceptional boarding school:
- Windsor School, Nassau
