The American Academy Nicosia first opened on October 16, 1922 as the American Academy for Girls, a day and boarding school with thirteen students. It relocated to its present premises outside the city walls in 1955 after World War II evacuations. In 1976 the school became independent from its founding mission with a board and in 1977 it became coeducational. The school now offers Pre-School, Primary and Secondary education and is accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA). A centenary book was published and a centenary celebration took place, marking the school's hundred-year history.
The Graduates Network keeps alumni connected, sharing success stories and encouraging mentoring and involvement with current students, with benefits such as updates on school news and reunions.
