The Australian International School is dedicated to excellence in all the work that it does, with the aim of enabling our students to develop as rounded individuals who can thrive in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

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. As the challenges of the world become more complex, our school aims to equip the next generation with the skills and personal qualities that will not only enable them to flourish in a challenging environment, but also equip them to make a positive difference in the lives of others.  

Across the curriculum and within the cocurricular program we foster the qualities of:

• respect, 
• caring,
• international mindedness,
• life-long learning,
• critical thinking,
• creativity,
• leadership,
• communication,
• self-confidence, and
• empathy.

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. The IB Diploma Programme is highly regarded by universities worldwide, with students commonly given credit for tertiary courses based on their results. AIS also offers the Australian Higher School Certificate. Recent HSC results show that our students perform well above New South Wales state averages.

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.  

We believe that school should give students the chance to discover their talents and experience success. When a student experiences success in the arts or in sports, this enhances self-esteem and supports their achievements in other areas. Therefore, the School offers a wide range of cocurricular activities as well as a camp program which challenges our students and exposes them to new experiences, environments and 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.
