History

American Academy Larnaca began in 1908 when Rev. McCarroll and Mrs. McCarroll, missionaries of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America, planned a school on the island. It is one of the nine oldest schools in Cyprus and was founded to provide a Christian education that combined academic training with a Christian way of living, teaching students to be tolerant, respectful and to serve the community. A girls' department opened in 1916, closed in 1919, and reopened ten years later as the boys' section continued to grow; during World War II the school relocated to Lefkara from 1941 to 1943. The present school began to take shape in 1954 with the completion of Weir Hall, and the New Memorial Hall began to take shape from 1983 onwards, while the original Memorial Hall was replaced. In 1973 governance was handed to the American Academy Alumni Foundation, and since then the school has been run as a non-profit with charitable status, governed by 11 elected members and two representatives of the original mission church.

Community

The community is supported by a vibrant Student Life program that encourages pursuing a passion, discovering new talents, and forming friendships that last a lifetime. The Senior School hosts the Brotherhood Committee, the Extra-Curricular Programme, The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award and Weir Camp, with Student Life Stories sharing experiences from students and alumni. The school's ethos is embodied in the motto To Grow and To Serve, guiding student interactions and service to others.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The Parents Teachers Association was founded in May 1998 and meets monthly at the American Academy Larnaca premises. It is a founding member of the Pancyprian Federation of Parental Associations of Private Schools. The PTA aims to ensure the welfare of students and to nurture strong relationships between parents and teachers, while liaising with the Ministry of Education, the American Academy Alumni Foundation and other relevant bodies. All parents of American Academy students who have fulfilled their financial obligations are regular members, as are AA teachers with no children at the school; the annual membership fee is €30. Members may join the PTA Management Board by submitting an application three days prior to the AGM, and a PTA constitution is available for download.
