Academics

Every school has a curriculum that guides what it teaches, when it teaches it and how it teaches.

At LCIS, we have chosen the International Baccalaureate curriculum implemented in over 5,500 schools around the world because we believe it provides students with the best preparation for learning and life. Students benefit from high-quality academics, a range of well-rounded programmes to choose from and a world-class programme.

We are one of less than 50 schools across the globe, and the only school in The Caribbean, to offer the International Baccalaureate school wide. Students begin in the Primary Years Programme and progress to the Middle Years Programme before having a choice to conclude their studies with either the IB Diploma or Career-related Programmes.

WHY IB?

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
