THE ACADEMY
Education that forms the whole person.
Spiritually, academically, emotionally, physically, socially, and practically, preparing children to know Christ, discover calling, and serve with excellence.
Educational Philosophy
Globally competitive. Biblically grounded.
A hybrid curriculum blending Jamaican CSEC and CAPE standards with U.S. Common Core-aligned academic standards, with an explicit college-preparatory track built to compete globally, integrated with biblical discipleship at every grade band.
Health sciences and nursing pathways. Applied agriculture and fisheries. Entrepreneurship, media, athletics, and servant leadership, all built on that same foundation.
FORMATION AND SUPPORT
Every child is met where they are.
The Foundation & Transition Programme
A structured bridge to confidence and readiness, not a label and not a lower expectation. For children with interrupted schooling, literacy or numeracy gaps, transitions from residential care, English-language needs, or social-emotional stabilization needs.
Formed by the Fruit of the Spirit
Each child is paired with a trained mentor, moving through weekly themes that pair a social-emotional skill with its corresponding Fruit of the Spirit. Love first, then joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. A parallel family track brings parents into the same language.
FORMATION AND SUPPORT
A village, ordered around worship.

Early Learning & Restoration
Land search and acquisition are proceeding now, with construction following at the pace this decision genuinely requires. Every figure is a planning target.
The Worship Center is planned as the physical and spiritual heart of the campus. Academic, residential, restoration, innovation, agricultural, and community spaces extend outward from that center. LTBL is coeducational, with boys' and girls' residences on separate sides of the campus.
Tuition and Fees
What it will cost, and what it will never cost.
Day and boarding tuition is being finalised against our founding operating model and will be published in full before enrolment opens. We would rather publish a figure we can hold than one we have to revise.
Families on the Founding Interest Registry receive the fee schedule first, before it is published publicly.
Day Students
Annual tuition, published before enrolment opens.
Traditional Boarding
Annual tuition including room and board, for Jamaican, Caribbean, diaspora, and international families.
Residential Restoration
Provided completely free for vulnerable and street-connected children. No family or child is ever asked to pay, and no place is ever means-tested against a fee.
ADMISSIONS

LTBL is not yet operational, so we do not run ordinary admissions. The registry lets us contact you as enrolment opens.
