About Us
Harbour Island Green School (HIGS) is an independently funded, community-based, green school that greatly subsidizes the tuition fees for over 85% of its students. This ensures that local students can access unique educational opportunities which may not be possible otherwise. The school opened in September 2019 and currently serves students from Kindergarten to Junior High, with hopes to develop into a K-12 institution in the near future.
The school is not only dedicated to the Harbour Island community but also to environmental education and sustainability. HIGS is registered with The Federation of Eco-schools (FEE) through Bahamas Reef Educational Foundation (BREEF). We work exceptionally hard to engage our students and the surrounding community in vital environmental initiatives, both inside and outside of the school walls. Students study and address pressing environmental issues such as climate change, global warming, plastic pollution, and biodiversity.
Our Mission
We deliver educational excellence, through innovative teaching, producing life long learners who demonstrate leadership, creativity, sustainability and community awareness. Our school provides a passionate and nurturing environment to achieve these outcomes.
Our Vision
To create an educational and community-focused organization that helps children reach their fullest potential, whilst making vital contributions to the Harbour Island community.
