Marian Academy
History
The school was opened on 14 September 1998, with 227 enrolled students. By 2001, the school had doubled in size, recording a figure of 453 students.
Since 2008, the school has run an annual "blood drive", in which students are encouraged to become blood donors. The drive is organised in collaboration with Guyana Red Cross and the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS).
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.
