ABOUT US

Virtual School Bahamas (VSB) is a nationally coordinated digital learning initiative under the Ministry of Education, Technical and Vocational Training (MOETVT). It was originally conceptualized to address the persistent challenge of staffing gaps on Family Islands, where the full complement of subject-specialist teachers could not always be deployed.

​

Since its inception, VSB has evolved into a flexible and scalable learning solution. It has provided continuity of instruction in times of national disruption, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian (2019) and during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences demonstrated the critical role that virtual learning can play in ensuring education access, equity, and resilience across the archipelago.

​

VSB offers live virtual instruction, access to asynchronous learning resources, and the use of a national Learning Management System (BELMS). It supports learners in both full-time and supplemental capacities, depending on school needs. The initiative continues to be refined through lessons learned across six academic years of operation.

VSB remains committed to its core mission: to expand equitable access to quality instruction and innovation-driven learning.
