South Eleuthera Community Partnerships
South Eleuthera is our home and community. Through partnerships and community engagement, by matching The Island School’s unique mission and expertise with local needs, we believe our School and the community are made stronger and better.
By fostering meaningful relationships through education, conservation, and sustainability, we seek to support community members and develop meaningful connections in the Bahamas and the local settlements.
