Australian International School

The Australian International School (AIS) is a well-established institution that offers a unique educational pathway in Singapore. Founded in 1993, it is the only school in the country that operates on the Australian academic calendar (January to December), making it the primary choice for families from the Southern Hemisphere. However, its diverse student population includes over 50 nationalities, drawn by its balanced approach to academics and wellbeing.

AIS offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Australian Curriculum for middle years, and a choice between the IB Diploma or the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (HSC) for senior students. This flexibility is highly valued by families who may return to Australia or relocate elsewhere globally. The school's 'Positive Education' framework focuses on the psychological well-being of students, integrating character strengths into the daily curriculum.

The school shares a massive campus with Stamford American’s Early Learning Village, providing world-class facilities. It is particularly renowned for its Athlete Development Program and its strong competitive sports culture. With a vibrant parent association and a focus on community, AIS provides a warm, welcoming environment for expatriate families.
