Australian International School in Singapore | AIS Singapore
In alignment with the Private Education Act 2009, a regulatory body has been established to regulate the private education sector in Singapore. All Private Education Institutions (PEIs) are required to comply with the regulations under the Act to operate. AIS is registered as a Private Education Institution.
Through the Skills Future Singapore (SSG) agency, schools are invited to apply for EduTrust certification. EduTrust is a voluntary certification scheme that helps to distinguish higher-quality educational institutions in Singapore’s private education industry. Private Education Institutions (PEIs) need to obtain EduTrust registration before offering placement for international students who require Student Passes from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA). AIS has also fulfilled the requirements under the EduTrust terms and conditions.
The Australian International School is owned by Australian International School Pte Ltd, a Singapore based company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cognita Asia Holdings Pte Ltd. Cognita Asia Holdings has appointed the following individuals as the PEI Managers for AIS.
The Academic Executive has appointed the following individuals as members of the Academic Board as required by the Private Education Act.

In compliance with the regulations under the Private Education Act 2009, course fees paid by students are protected in the form of fee protection schemes and fee collection caps. If a PEI is unable to continue operating, the protection scheme protects the unconsumed course fees paid by students while the fee protection caps limit the amount of course fees that the PEI had collected at any one time. Fees are considered protected only once they are paid to AIS.

AIS is required to execute a Contract with every student prior to being enrolled in the school. As most of our students are under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian is required to execute the Contract on behalf of the student.
The AIS-Student Contract is an important legal agreement between AIS and you, the parent or guardian. Your child cannot start at AIS until you return a duly executed Contract and Advisory Note (Form 12) to the school.
You should sign this Contract only if you fully understand and are satisfied with all of its terms and conditions. If you have any doubts about the contents of the Contract, you should seek advice and clarification before signing. Detailed sections within the Student Contract include course information and fees, refund policy, fee protection scheme, medical insurance scheme and additional information relating to the governing law and dispute resolution.
