Empowering Through Personal Development
The introduction of the PHSE (Personal, Health, Social, and Economic education) programme across the curriculum highlights the school’s commitment to holistic growth. This initiative supports students’ personal development, wellbeing, and understanding of the world around them. Key areas covered include health and wellbeing, relationships, social responsibilities, and financial literacy.
Guidance for Future Pathways
Academic counselling plays a pivotal role at the American Academy Larnaca. A dedicated team of Academic Counsellors assists students in making informed subject choices and guides them towards university or the workplace. Their support is instrumental in helping students secure places at prestigious universities worldwide, often in challenging courses.
Expanding Educational Choices
In response to the evolving needs of its students, the school has expanded its curriculum to include a Greek School programme, available since September 2022. This programme allows students to specialise in either Economics or Science, fully preparing them for the Pancyprian Exams, which qualify them for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.
Nurturing the Whole Student
