The American Academy Nicosia is beginning its 85th year of providing high quality educational services in Cyprus. As Principal, I welcome you to our web site and hope the information that you receive gives you a better understanding of the school’s qualities, mission and goals. As a school administrator with many years of experience, I realize the complexities involved in providing a total educational experience. That is why the American Academy aims to equip students with academic and intellectual skills, the ideals to underpin their moral and ethical choices and the security and self-confidence to develop fully integrated personalities.

The American Academy was founded in 1922 as a finishing school. At a time when women were not admitted into most professions and often weren’t even allowed a proper education, the American Academy led the way by providing an English education for the daughters of many of Nicosia’s prominent citizens.

In 1976 the school was turned over to a local council and in 1977 the school was made co-educational. Graduates of the Academy have excelled in many professions. Some have become research specialists in the fields of physics, genetics, medicine and ecological study, while others have been involved in the national government and international politics, business, and commerce.
