But, the point here and the issue at hand is this! Cypriots are ooen minded people keen to learn from others in order to improve! Greeks kike Kurupet and Oracle are closed minded still thinking they are the cradle of the Western World!

Honestly, if you could afford it, wouldn't you send your kids to the Anerican Academy rather than rely on sub standard Greek Teachers?
There are private Orthodox Schools in Oz. Kids Registered at the Anglican private schools! Why? Because they are not Greek ones and better than the quite good public system.
All the good Greek Teachers wouldn't work at these Greek Schools either.
Maybe I'm racist....

The funny thing is that the 'American Academy' name is just a franchise. You just pay up and get the name, it's still operated by Cypriots.

You're absolutely correct. The name is there because as well as teaching in Greek, it teaches to the English curriculum as well (I believe) for entry to American Universities. Sad when a Greek-teaching school in Cyprus, overseen by the Cypriot education ministers is only applauded by the forum fools because it has the name "American" attached.
