Alumni & the Campaign
The Next Chapter Starts With Alumni
You’ve lived this experience—now help shape what comes next.
For more than 25 years, The Island School has helped shape students into thoughtful, capable leaders. As alumni, you understand the impact of this experience in a way that no one else can.
The Rising TIDE Campaign is an opportunity to strengthen what makes this place so meaningful while ensuring it continues to evolve for generations to come.
It is also an opportunity to reconnect; to hear alumni stories, highlight the paths you have taken, and celebrate the many ways that The Island School experience shapes lives beyond Eleuthera. The strength of this community starts on campus and is carried forward into the world by each one of you.
This is your school. This is your community. And now, this is your moment to be a part of what comes next.
The Alumni Experience
The Island School experience is designed to stay with students long after they leave Eleuthera. The Rising TIDE Campaign strengthens that impact at every level.
Your support expands access, allowing more students to participate in our programs. It supports and retains the faculty who shape it. It strengthens the campus environment where learning, growth, and connection happen every day. And it builds long-term stability so the school can continue to lead and evolve.
The result is not just a stronger institution. It is a growing network of alumni carrying this experience into the world—in their work, their communities, and the way they lead.
Sharing Impact
We continue to provide access to the Island School experience for all applicants with a total of $696,696 available in total tuition assistance. Faculty and staff housing at The Grove is being developed to support and retain the people at the heart of our programs. Investments in campus and operations are strengthening the daily experience for students and staff alike. Endowment growth is building long-term stability for the future.
At the same time, the impact of our alumni is expanding around the world..
Alumni are working across fields from science and conservation to business, education, and public service, bringing the Island School mindset into the world in tangible ways.
This is the full impact of Rising TIDE.
Enhancing the experience on campus.
Extending that impact through alumni everywhere.
Join Us!
The Alumni Challenge is a collective effort to bring alumni back into the story and build momentum across the community.
One of the most meaningful ways to be part of this effort is by supporting the Maxey Scholarship.
The Maxey Scholarship honors the founding vision of The Island School and reflects a core belief that this experience should be accessible to all students, regardless of financial means.
For alumni, it is a direct way to give back. To support the place that shaped you. And to carry forward the Maxey legacy of making this experience possible for future generations.
This is about participation and purpose.
Coming together as a community.
Honoring what made this place what it is.
And ensuring that more students have the opportunity to experience it.
Every alum has a role to play.
The Island School taught me what it meant to live with intention, to challenge myself, and to embrace discomfort as growth. Most importantly, I found a community that became family. The friendships I made continue to shape me today; they are the people who still push me with critical questions, stand by me with unconditional support, and who I know will be with me through every milestone of life.

Alumni Stories & Connections
One of the most powerful parts of the Island School community is what happens after students leave.
Alumni are building careers, leading organizations, working in communities, and carrying forward the values of this experience in meaningful ways.
We want to hear those stories.
We want to highlight your work, celebrate your successes, and create more ways for alumni to stay connected to each other and to the school.
Because the impact of The Island School is not only measured on campus. It is reflected in what alumni go on to do.
Stay Connected
The Island School community continues well beyond a semester or summer.
Through The Island School Alumni Network, alumni can reconnect with classmates, stay informed about events, and explore the paths and stories of fellow alumni.
