Nassau - School Report Question and Answers

Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?

Uniform expense is high. While the quality is good (items are from LandsEnd), getting them to the island is quite the process. It’s expensive and takes a long time and items are often back ordered. MacBooks are required for kids in grades 6 and up. There is no Apple support on the island so if something breaks, you must go to the States to fix or buy a new one. They say field trips are included because they put $150 into a student activity fund but often this runs out. Even off-island trips they say are free, are actually not because there IS ALWAYS additional expenses that can be quite high. Sports are extremely expensive through the school. - May 2023


Uniforms must be purchased and there are other trips that students can go that do cost money. - May 2023
