Beachfront boarding options on the way for King’s College students

NASSAU, BAHAMAS — King’s College School, The Bahamas, has announced plans for a new state-of-the-art boarding house, King’s Beach Lodge, set to open in June 2025. The facility will accommodate nearly 50 students and serve as a residential hub for both the school’s international summer camps and the upcoming 2025-2026 academic year.

The project is part of a broader investment by Inspired Education Group, the international network that operates the school. Inspired has allocated over $85 million towards campus development and boarding facilities, positioning King’s College School, The Bahamas, as a competitive option among top international institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom.

King’s Beach Lodge is expected to provide families in The Bahamas and the surrounding region with a closer-to-home alternative to traditional boarding schools in North America and Europe. The facility will also welcome students from Inspired’s global network through an international exchange programme, aimed at fostering cultural diversity and broadening students’ academic and social experiences.

“This expansion aligns with Inspired’s vision of providing students with diverse experiences and perspectives, as well as the opportunity to forge lifelong connections with peers from across Inspired’s global family of premium schools,” said Nadim M. Nsouli, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Inspired Education.

Located on Love Beach, New Providence, King’s Beach Lodge will offer modern accommodations, including private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, study and rest areas, and balconies with ocean views. Common areas will feature a student lounge, cafeteria, and a gym with a panoramic beach terrace.

The location also provides direct access to outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, marine science, conservation, and rowing at nearby Lake Cunningham. These opportunities align with the school’s emphasis on experiential learning and environmental awareness.

Matteo Rossetti, Founding Principal of King’s College School, The Bahamas, highlighted the broader impact of the new boarding facility:

“At King’s College School, The Bahamas, we instill the knowledge, skills, values, and character for our students to have the confidence to embrace their individuality and embrace life as the leaders of tomorrow. King’s Beach Lodge offers students the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in our education, as well as a unique life experience within the ecosystem and culture of one of the most beautiful countries in the world.”

To introduce prospective students and parents to King’s Beach Lodge, the school will host an open house event in January 2025. The event will feature virtual reality (VR) tours, allowing attendees to explore the boarding house through immersive simulations, as well as in-person meet-and-greet sessions with school administrators and faculty.

King’s College School, The Bahamas, is part of Inspired Education Group’s network of 118 premium schools worldwide, which provides students with academic pathways and exchange opportunities across multiple continents.

As the June 2025 launch approaches, the school aims to position King’s Beach Lodge as a regional hub for high-quality international education, offering students both a rigorous academic environment and a unique island lifestyle.

Op-Ed: Brave ‘Papa Tax’ Davis and his mid-year budget

In February 2015, the Registrar General Department entered into a contractual agreement with VRC, formerly known as Sunshine Shredder, to digitize its company files as part of a long-overdue transition from paper-based records to a modern, paperless system. The initial cost of the contract was a staggering $89,000 for the first month, followed by an ongoing monthly fee of $85,000. Notably, the agreement lacked a clearly defined project timeline or end date, raising immediate concerns about fiscal oversight and accountability. Tragically, while scanning commenced, the project quickly revealed an alarming absence of quality control and verification protocols. The digitization process, meant to enhance access, accuracy, and operational efficiency, was executed with such poor foresight that the resulting digital records are effectively unusable by the Company Section. The core issue lies in the contract specifications. VRC was commissioned to scan and input data into only three (3) fields, despite the operational requirement being six (6) fields for full functionality within the Department’s systems. This fundamental oversight rendered the digitized records incomplete and incompatible with current needs. Attempts to rectify this monumental error have proven financially unviable. Discussions to incorporate the additional fields revealed that doing so would triple the cost an egregious escalation with no guarantee of improved results. To make matters worse, in 2024, when the Registrar General’s office relocated to a new building, the internal scanning unit comprising trained staff who could have potentially salvaged or improved the process was dismantled. These personnel were reassigned to other departments, effectively dissolving any in-house capacity for quality control or intervention. This sequence of decisions paints a troubling picture of systemic mismanagement, questionable contractual negotiations, and a lack of strategic vision. The public deserves transparency, and those responsible for this financial and operational fiasco must be held to account. A project intended to usher in digital transformation has instead become a cautionary tale of waste and ineptitude at the expense of taxpayers and national record integrity.
