The American Academy Larnaca is committed to promoting academic excellence and personal growth within a caring community that celebrates human kindness. As a non-profit institution, our school is committed to delivering a holistic educational experience that begins in the classroom and extends far beyond it. At the heart of the school's philosophy is its motto "to grow and to serve" which embodies the true ethos and culture of our learning environment. Our students grow intellectually, emotionally, socially and morally, and are encouraged to serve their community actively and generously. Our school ethos is reinforced in our unique management structure; we are a private, non-elitist, co-educational independent school that is uniquely run by its own graduates. We believe in active, engaging learning that extends beyond the classroom. From spending extra time after class to discuss concepts to organising out-of-school activities that will reinforce learning, our teachers are committed to making learning personal and meaningful for each individual student from the very first day. The school offers a wide range of courses which gives considerable freedom to students to create their own curriculum at GCSE and A-Level, based on what best suits their interests and satisfies their academic curiosity. At the heart of our school are the key values that underpin and are reflected in all our activities and initiatives.
