Learn, Create and Flourish

CLFA is dedicated to developing many of the skills that matter most in today’s world: critical thinking, curiosity, creativity, communication and cultural awareness. Here, our students:

  • Explore their imagination
  • Develop their unique individual voices
  • Articulate complex ideas
  • Engage in meaningful scholarly and cultural conversations
  • Transform their classroom insights into public knowledge
  • Share authentic Bahamian stories beyond the touristic narrative of sun, sand and sea.

With the increasing reliance on automated systems and artificial intelligence within business, education, and entertainment, CLFA continues to center human interaction, human empathy, and human critical engagement at the core of our humanities programmes. Our classrooms become spaces where insight turns into public knowledge, artistic expression, and social impact.
