Quick History

Amazonas English Academy is an International School in Manaus, Amazonas. We began just about three years ago from a desire to help British missionaries who were having to return to Britain for their children to finish their education. We were accepted as a centre of International Examinations by the University of Cambridge, England in January 2004, then became a member of their International Primary program in July 2005. This means that we can offer an internationally recognised qualifications to our students to prepare them for university in more than 130 countries.

During these three years, we have grown quickly, and now have about 110 students between the ages of 2 and 18, from several nationalities.

We are located in a suburb of Manaus, called Marina Tauá, about 8 km from the international airport. Its a calm setting, with lots of trees around, and we can get out and see nature. It's about a 25 minute drive from the city centre of Manaus, and in an area of Manaus that is growing rapidly.
