We aim to offer a well balanced education based on the English National Curriculum modified to the needs of international students and are committed to encouraging the development of the full potential and personality of our students.

We provide a supportive environment which recognises each individual's talents, encourages students' aspirations and creates opportunities for them to acquire the knowledge, skills and qualifications and to develop the personal qualities needed for life and work.

We recognise the central importance of each individual and his or her relationship with others and are committed to promoting international understanding and responsible citizenship in a multicultural context.

"Σοφία πάντων κάλλιστον", "Wisdom above all" is the school motto and the curriculum at the school is based on a set of clear aims which reflect this statement.

We believe that we should inspire all students to achieve their full potential.

We believe that successful students are able to challenge themselves in and out of school, so becoming lifelong learners and effective problem solvers.

We believe that all American Academy students will acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to become lifelong learners and productive members of society.

We believe that we should instil in our students the values of courtesy, respect, appreciation, tolerance and determination to succeed.

We believe that we should teach young people to love learning and value knowledge and to develop responsibility and character, by providing a constant rigorous level of high expectations

We believe that the curriculum should be rigorous, motivating, stimulating, enjoyable, and relevant, and offer opportunities for academic, personal, social and spiritual development. 

We believe that a good school is one that educates students for a successful life in both the academic arena and real life situations by communicating effectively, respecting individual differences and setting high standards for students, staff and administrators.

We believe that an effective classroom is one in which students enjoy working both individually and co-operatively using a variety of learning styles.

We believe that a good staff member is one who enjoys what they do, has the students' best interests in mind, models respect, values team work, is caring, courteous and dedicated and is supportive of students, parents, and fellow teachers and administrator.
