ARTS

Donations to the Annual Fund support Educational Enhancements which increase the quality of our curriculum and programmes . As part of our strategic vision , LCIS has made a deep commitment to expanding students ’ exposure to the arts . In recent years , this has been done through the school ’ s support of the LCIS Art Institute , which brings locally and internationally renowned artists to the classroom , as well as several other initiatives . These experiences are truly transformative and give our students hands-on experience in the fine and performing arts .
This year , LCIS has teamed up with the acclaimed Bahamas Artist Movement to offer a co-curricular activity and an elective focusing on developing students ’ acting skills . The school hopes to develop the various interests of its students , knowing that well-rounded and balanced students perform at a much higher level all around .
“ I am so pleased LCIS is committed to the Arts . The LCIS curriculum embraces the education of the whole child . Our children excel on and off the stage because of the well-rounded education they receive at LCIS .” Rowena Jones , Parent of a Grade 7 and Grade 1 Student
