Five Reasons to Choose the Australian International School (AIS)

When selecting an international school in Singapore, families are faced with a wealth of choices. However, the Australian International School (AIS) has been a standout option for over 30 years. Here are five reasons why AIS remains a top choice for many families.

Expansive Campus

AIS boasts a sprawling 1-kilometre campus designed to support students’ passions. Early learners benefit from the world’s largest purpose-built Early Learning Village, complete with “pods” that create intimate communities. The campus includes UV-protected playgrounds, a pool, gym, libraries, outdoor sports fields, a theatre, science and tech labs, and more. This thoughtfully designed environment ensures every student feels at home.

Vibrant Community

AIS is renowned for its welcoming community. Parents, students, and staff consistently praise the sense of connection from the first visit. The Parents’ Association (AISPA) and community engagement teams organise over 200 activities annually, making AIS a home away from home for families from 50+ countries. From school picnics to daily playground gatherings, AIS fosters a close-knit, inclusive environment.

Holistic Opportunities

With 300+ Co-Curricular Activities (CCA), AIS offers something for everyone, from sports to arts, technology, and more. Even early learners can join after-school activities. Whether it’s coding, chess, or robotics, students have ample opportunities to explore and excel in their interests.

Globally Recognized Curricula

AIS blends the Australian curriculum with international standards, providing a well-rounded education. Students benefit from programs like Reggio-Emilia in the early years, the IBPYP in elementary, the IGCSE in high school, and a choice between the HSC or IB Diploma in the final years. This approach ensures flexibility and a strong foundation in core subjects, preparing students for global opportunities.

Focus on Academic Wellbeing 

AIS prioritises both academic excellence and student wellbeing. With dedicated wellbeing staff and programs, students thrive academically and emotionally. Tools like data dashboards and regular check-ins help students manage stress, leading to higher academic performance. The non-selective approach for the IBDP allows students to pursue their passions while achieving their potential.
