HISTORY

In 1987, at the request of the American Embassy in Nicosia, the school reopened with 51 students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. In 1990 170 students were registered. During the invasion of Kuwait, Cyprus became home for UN workers from Baghdad and families fleeing Kuwait. During that period enrolment increased to 315 students, including 21 boarding students. In 1993, Esol Education purchased the school and continued to rent the same premises. The school’s name was changed to the American International School in Cyprus (AISC). Since 1993, AISC has been committed to an American and international programme of studies preparing students for universities both in the United States and around the world; the IB Diploma Programme has the widest reach in all corners of the world, including Europe and the UK.[/penci_text_block][/penci_column][/penci_container][/vc_column][/vc_row]
