Deep Creek Middle School is a private day school in the settlement of Deep Creek on the island of Eleuthera in The Bahamas. It was founded in September 2001 with the goal of increasing access to educational resources for people in South Eleuthera. The school has grown to serve 42 students in grades 7, 8 & 9 and has created numerous opportunities that otherwise would not have been possible for students and families.

This promotes academic growth and responsible citizenship to prepare students to be the future leaders of The Bahamas.
