The Island School Overview
The Cape Eleuthera Island School (CEIS), a not-for-profit organization based in Eleuthera, The Bahamas, was founded in 1999 to create and support transformational educational experiences with the mission of leadership effecting change. The diverse CEIS educational initiatives, including the Island School Semester and Summer Term, Deep Creek Middle School, the Elementary Learning Center, and Community Engagement and Partnership, deliver unique education in partnership with the authentic and meaningful work our organization undertakes in research, sustainable development and innovation at the Cape Eleuthera Institute.
Our School
Deep Creek Middle School is an independent day school on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. It was founded in September 2001 with the goal of increasing access to educational resources for people in South Eleuthera. The school has grown to serve students in grades 7, 8 and 9 and offers an experiential approach to the Bahamian national curriculum. While DCMS is located in the settlement of Deep Creek, it is fully a part of the larger Island School community and the middle school students purposefully engage in collaborative work and learning with students, faculty, scientists, farmers and innovators throughout the Island School organization.
Within the framework of The Island School’s vision of leadership effecting change, DCMS creates a learning environment where students not only learn the subject matter from the Bahamian national curriculum, but focus on academic growth, leadership and responsible citizenship. Our distinctive philosophy of education invites students to join our community, take calculated risks, solve real problems, engage with the natural environment, and experience deep learning beyond the classroom.

In your job, you must be energized to try new things and stretch beyond a traditional job description. Our faculty design experiential, place-based curriculum, create collaborative partnerships across the Island School and within the Deep Creek community, and actively engage families to support student learning. Teachers also lead community engagement clubs, as well as after school tutoring and sports. School is open five days a week from 7:30am thru 4:30pm.
