Georgetown International Academy (GIA) is a private international school in the Guyanese capital. Founded in 1971 as the Georgetown American School to serve the United States Embassy community, it remains one of the 193 American Overseas Schools assisted by the U.S. Department of State. The school teaches from Early Years, starting at Pre-K3, through a Lower School, a Middle School and a High School running to Grade 12, and offers the IB Diploma Programme in the senior years alongside SAT preparation. Its motto — Curious Minds, Kind Hearts, Global Impact — reflects how it describes itself: a learning community committed to academic excellence, global awareness and well-rounded individuals. Graduating classes are small and highly international; the class of 2026 had nine graduates between them holding seven nationalities across three continents. Beyond lessons there are athletics, clubs and after-school activities, a design lab, performing and visual arts, physical education and counselling, along with health services and a cafeteria.
