Tambearly International School is an independent preparatory school serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade. The admissions process requires a formal student application, and the school maintains a diverse student body of approximately 175 children from the Bahamas and various international backgrounds.

The school operates on a standard academic year, with specific dates for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years available through the school's official calendar. The academic year includes regular assessments, prize-giving ceremonies in June, and major school-wide events such as seasonal stage productions.

Located on a four-acre campus in Sandyport, New Providence, the school features sprawling soccer fields and a swimming pool used for physical education and club activities.
