American Academy Nicosia
The American Academy Nicosia is a private non-profit school comprising a preschool (for ages 3–5), a primary department (years 1-6 for ages 6–11) and a secondary department (Years 7-13 for ages 12–18). It is located in central Nicosia, Cyprus. From its establishment it has served all the communities of Cyprus. The school is recognized by the Ministry of Education and Culture.〔http://www.moec.gov.cy/en/private_education.html http://www.moec.gov.cy/idiotiki_ekpaideusi/index.html http://www.moec.gov.cy/idiotiki_ekpaideusi/idiotika-sholeia.html〕
The student body currently is representative not only of the different communities in Cyprus but it also has an international element, with many pupils coming from other European countries, with Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas also represented. The language of instruction is English and the British National Curriculum is followed throughout the School with secondary school students being prepared for IGCSEs and A-Levels.〔http://www.aacademynicosia.ac.cy/easyconsole.cfm/id/56〕 The Greek language is taught at all levels of the primary and secondary departments ensuring fluency for native Greek speakers and supporting competence in the basics for non-native speakers. French, Spanish and Italian are also offered. The School Diploma, recognized by the Ministry of Education as equivalent to the state-school diploma (Apolytirion), is awarded to students upon graduation.〔http://www.aacademynicosia.ac.cy/easyconsole.cfm/id/104〕
== History ==
The School opened its doors on October 16, 1922.〔Report of the Board of Foreign Missions to the Synod of 1923, ''Minutes of the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America'', p. 69.〕 The founders, who had earlier started the American Academy in Larnaca for boys, established the school in response to local demand for an English language school for girls and it was named the American Academy for Girls.〔Weir, W.W., C.E. Caskey and Barnabas Constantinopoulos, ''A Brief History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the Island of Cyprus''. The Board of Foreign Missions of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, 1939. page 31〕 In its early years it was both a boarding and a day school and thirteen students enrolled in its first year, two of them boarders.〔Weir, Caskey and Constantinopoulos ''loc.cit.'' page 31〕 The teacher who headed up the work was Lola Weir with Ada Wilson being her assistant.〔''ibid''. page 31.〕 Helen and Iphigenia Aegyptiades, refugees from Smyrna, former teachers at the American University there, came on staff to teach music and home economics respectively.〔Report of the Board of Foreign Missions to the Synod of 1923, loc.cit., p. 69〕 School and boarding house were originally in the west side of the old city of Nicosia. Growth was quite rapid and by 1927 the enrolment had reached 89 students.〔Report of the Board of Foreign Missions to the Synod of 1928, ''Minutes of the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America'', p. 73〕
The school year 1941-1942 saw the Academy evacuated to Kyrenia, due to the fear of enemy action in World War II, with a return the following year.〔''The Academy Echo'', April 1947, Vol 12 No.4 page 7〕 Relocation to its present premises outside the city walls in 1955〔McCrae, Blanche. 'The New School Building and New Opportunities'. ''Covenanter Witness'' December 7, 1955 page 376-377〕 provided more extensive grounds and larger buildings. In 1976 the school became independent from its founding mission with a board of Cypriot educationalists and businessmen set up to manage it. In 1977 the school became coeducational〔 and in the years that followed, there was an expansion in both its enrollment, its grounds and buildings.
