Marian Academy is a private Catholic pre-school, primary and secondary school, located in Georgetown, Guyana. It is situated on Carifesta Avenue in central Georgetown.[1][2][3]

History

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]

Environs
