Marian Academy is a private Catholic nursery, primary and secondary school, located in Georgetown, Guyana. It is situated on Carifesta Avenue in central Georgetown. [1] [2] [3]
The school was opened on 14 September 1998, with 227 enrolled students. [1] By 2001, the school had doubled in size, recording a figure of 453 students. [1]
Since 2008, the school has run an annual "blood drive", in which students are encouraged to become blood donors. [4] The drive is organised in collaboration with Guyana Red Cross and the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS). [5]
In 2015, the school signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jinshan Middle School in Fuzhou, China making Marian Academy the first school in Guyana to have a sister school in China. In 2019, 20 students from Marian visited Jinshan. [6]
