InterAmerican Academy (IAA) is a private, non-profit, co-educational day school in Guayaquil, Ecuador, founded in 1979 to serve the city's international community and run by a parent association, the Asociación Cultural Interamericana. Its campus is in the gated Puerto Azul area, at kilometre 10.5 on the coast road west of the city. IAA teaches entirely in English, apart from world-language classes, from Nursery at age two to Grade 12, and follows a US curriculum based on Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards that leads to a US high school diploma recognised by Ecuador's Ministry of Education. The school is accredited by Cognia, belongs to AMISA and AAIE, and offers a range of Advanced Placement courses, including the AP Capstone seminar and research courses. Enrolment is around 210 students from more than 25 nationalities, with about 36 teaching professionals, and the calendar runs from August to June, matching the northern-hemisphere school year. Distinctive features include a Reggio Emilia-inspired early childhood centre, project-based learning across all grades, a STEM and maker programme, a student support team and a gifted programme, and a Center for International Education that helps students apply to universities abroad and seek scholarships.
