Our Ethos

We offer a well balanced education based on the English National Curriculum modified to accommodate the needs of international students and are committed to encouraging the development of the full potential and personality of our students.

We provide a supportive environment which recognises each individual’s talents, encourages students’ aspirations and creates opportunities for them to acquire knowledge, skills and qualifications and to develop the personal qualities needed for life and work.

We recognise the  importance of each individual and his or her relationship with others and are committed to promoting international understanding and responsible citizenship in a multicultural context.

  • We believe that we should inspire all students to achieve their full potential.
  • We believe that successful students are able to challenge themselves in and out of school, therefore becoming lifelong learners and effective problem solvers.
  • We believe that all American Academy students will acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to become lifelong learners and productive members of society.
  • We believe that we should instil in our students the values of courtesy, respect, appreciation, tolerance and determination to succeed.
  • We believe that we should teach young people to love learning, value knowledge and to develop responsibility and character, by providing a constant level of high expectations
  • We believe that the curriculum should be motivating, stimulating, enjoyable, and relevant and offer opportunities for academic, personal, social and spiritual development. 
  • We believe that a good school is one that educates students for a successful life in both the academic arena and real life situations by communicating effectively, respecting individual differences and setting high standards for students, staff and administrators.
  • We believe that an effective classroom is one in which students enjoy working both individually and co-operatively using a variety of learning styles.

Limassol School Milestones

In 1986 the American Academy opened its doors in 24 Despina Pattichi Street Limassol to both primary and secondary school pupils with an initial enrolment of 50 pupils.

By 1990 the primary school moved to its current location 7 Lefkas street to fit the growing number of enrolments for both schools.

In the year 2000, the school management was busy opening its first Nursery and Reception classes, creating boarding facilities to cater to international students as well as expanded its educational influence by creating an Educational Learning Centre to assist students with extra lessons and top-up subjects as well as dealing with students which have learning difficulties such as Dyslexia.

In 2001 recognizing the demand for Private Greek education, the American Academy in Limassol started a Greek secondary school.

In 2006 – 2008 an additional floor was built in the Limassol Secondary school to satisfy increase in demand for students. By 2008 a new Nursery was established in Limassol.
