Overview:
The Australian International School’s ‘globally focused, distinctly Australian’ approach provides students with an international education that is underpinned by the Australian curriculum. As the only southern-hemisphere school in Singapore to offer both the IB and Australian curriculums for students aged 2 months to 18 years, the Australian International School is widely regarded as a leading centre of educational excellence.
AIS is home to more than 2,400 students and 200 teaching staff. Our core focus is delivering high quality academic programs that will enable students to achieve their intellectual potential and have greater choice in their lives beyond school, including access to the best universities both in Australia and internationally. The Australian International school offers a holistic, rounded education, which cherishes the arts and sport as well as academics as being essential to each student’s learning journey. The AIS curriculum and culture not only values academic achievement, but aims to develop students into adults who have a moral commitment to making the world a better place as reflective, caring knowledgeable and principled people.
This ‘rounded education’ philosophy is consistent with the ‘learner profile’ of the International Baccalaureate (IB) which is a world renowned, values based international curriculum, driven by enquiry based learning practices. AIS is a fully accredited IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme, and the IB Diploma Programme. AIS also offers the Australian Higher School Certificate in Years 11 and 12 and from 2013, the IGCSE in Years 9 and 10.
At the Australian International School we invest considerable resources in student welfare programs. We believe that when a student feels safe and their emotional needs recognised and met, they are in the best place to access the opportunities for learning and personal growth.
There is a place for every child at AIS, and as such the school remains non-selective in its admissions policy, confident that it is not intellectual ability alone that determines an individual’s worth or contribution to the world.
As an international school, diversity is at the heart of the AIS culture. With a community made up of more than 50 different nationalities, students are exposed to a truly global education and the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of other cultures.
We believe that the Australian International School offers an outstanding international school experience which our students will cherish for the rest of their lives.
AIS has continued to grow rapidly since it was founded in 1993, with the latest groundbreaking stage of development due to launch in 2017. The Early Learning Village opened in July 2017 and will provide learning capacity for 800 young learners aged 2 months to 6 years.
