HISTORY
The school was founded in 1900 by Canon Frank Darvall Newham. It moved to its current location opposite the Presidential Palace in 1938. It became co-educational in 1962 when it merged with The English School for Girls. The school is currently an independent school, which is in trust to the government of Cyprus. It has built an enviable tradition of academic excellence and an outstanding range of out-of-class activities, which contribute to a well-rounded education.[/penci_text_block][/penci_column][/penci_container][/vc_column][/vc_row]
