Kyriacos Demetriades – Documenting the Legacy of The English School

In this historically rich episode of Alumni Voices, Kyriacos Demetriades, a distinguished alumnus, discusses his book “The English School Nicosia, 1900s to 1960,” chronicling the school’s evolution during British colonial rule. He reflects on the school’s diverse student body—including Greeks, Maronites, Armenians, and Turks—and its pivotal role in shaping Cyprus’s civil service. Drawing from personal experience as a boarder, Mr. Demetriades shares insights on equality, honour, character-building, and the importance of preserving the school’s heritage through a museum and sustained alumni involvement.
