Echoing this mission is Inspired Schools, a leading global premium schools group overseeing the operations of over sixty-four schools internationally, which AIS is proud to be a member of. As part of the Inspired approach, AIS has been individually developed and designed to deliver an excellent education which responds to the needs of the school’s own environment, location, and community.
Under the leadership and experience of the Executive Principal, Ms Davina McCarthy, AIS’s team of teachers, being exceptionally passionate, fully qualified, and internationally trained, are dedicated to challenge, inspire, and support the needs of every individual student. To aid them is AIS’s extensive range of facilities, with each classroom and learning environment being spacious, well-resourced, and technologically rich.
