AIS presents outstanding education with a difference. Our students’ journey to success is mapped along a path where the best of the world’s schooling curriculum stands alongside a proud Emirati culture, producing young adults who are not just resourceful global citizens but happy children of proud parents.
Established over fourteen years ago in response to the need for a school respecting the culture, faith and language of the people of the UAE whilst utilising the best education system for a new digital and global era, the Al Sharif Investment Trading Group partnered with the Government of Queensland to build the first Australian school in the Middle East.
Using the innovative Australian Curriculum framework, highly experienced teachers from Australia, Arabic specialists and a leadership team passionate about delivering exceptional educational and wellbeing outcomes have together developed AIS into a school where each child is nurtured and supported to reach for the stars.
At AIS, the relationship between home and school is viewed as pivotal in a child’s education and is characterised by a supportive partnership and open communication. This is more than simply a place to be educated; it is a strong schooling community filled with a network of families, teachers and staff invested in providing an outstanding, innovative education to happy students.
Here, Our Executive Principal, Mr Steve, states why AIS is an Outstanding School:
Welcome to AIS, a place where a love of lifelong learning is instilled in students and their journey to success begins. Established over eleven years ago, we have chronicled an enviable history of success thanks to the dedication of our excellent teaching staff, our adherence to the world’s highest educational standards under the Australian Curriculum and our passionate belief in fostering the positive wellbeing of students within a strong schooling community.
In a world experiencing an unprecedented era of change, the Australian Curriculum allows for an inquiry based pedagogy within classrooms led by highly skilled, trained and dedicated Australian teachers. Global experts regularly consult staff on how best to draw out student strengths and nurture their wellbeing, whilst our Arabic specialists ensure the Emirati culture and language is proudly honoured. AIS has state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities, while our high expectations of behaviour, uniform and attendance ensure students are focussed and feel a sense of belonging and pride in their school.
Our students graduate at the end of Grade 12 with either a Queensland Certificate of Education or an International Baccalaureate Diploma, reaching for the stars in universities both here and around the world. Within national assessments of literacy and numeracy, we are meeting and exceeding Australian standards thanks to our innovative teaching models within the Australian Curriculum.
Preparing our children for success in a world which is ever-changing requires thoughtfulness; it is not enough for students to simply learn information from the front of a classroom. This is the AIS difference: we are building the critical thinkers and problem solvers of the future not only through outstanding education, but in the development of their resilience, the forging of their grit and determination to succeed and most of all, through fostering their innate happiness. Only then are our children truly ready to reach for the stars.
Having harnessed the highest quality pedagogy across the Australian Curriculum partnered with Australian education professionals and outstanding teaching programs in Arabic and Islamic Studies, students enrolled at AIS can access well designed and sequential pathways to success from ELC through to Grade 12 and beyond into tertiary education. Our vision, motto and values reflect this constant drive to enrich and refine how we deliver quality education within a vibrant Emirati culture and setting.

I really enjoy this school! I am a sixth grader and this is probably the best 8 years I’ve ever spent. The teachers care for the students and hand out challenging and fun tasks. Even as an online student, to be completely honest, it makes it more fun and complete. have a good day.

المدرسة الاسترالية من المدارس الي بتغمرك بالدفء والحب من اول ما تخطي خطوة من استقبال المسؤولين ...من الابتسامة المرسومة على وجه الكبير والصغير ..من الاذن الصاغية لاي شكوى وبأي وقت ..لم تغلق أبواب هذه المدرسة ابدا في وجوهنا وكانت دايما مرحبة بناوكلها أذان صاغية ..اعتقد ان الكمال ال مدرسة يقاس بجودة التدريس والشخصية الي أضيفت الي أطفالنا بعد سنين من التعليم في ظل هذه المدرسة ..انا ام لثلاثة اطفال في المدرسة الاسترالية قد أستطيع المس انتماء أطفالي الي حصن المدرسة الاسترالية قبل انتماءي.فلا يقبلو المقارنة بينها وبين غيرها من المدارس ..الثقة الي أستطيع المسها في أطفالي هذا يجعلني اشكر الله على اختيار هذه المدرسة لتكون الايد الامينة التي ستأخذ بأطفال ي ال. العالم والىالمستقبل ...كل الحب والانتماء والولاء الى المدرسة الاسترالية الدولية وبالتوفيق دايما....انا عبير سمير ام لارا وتولين وسارة ..هم زهور المدرسة الاسترالية وهم البراعم التي أبصرت النور مع تطور المدرسة الاسترالية.....وفقكم الله

My children have been to different schools in different countries in the past but are in AIS for the past 4 years since we came to UAE...From the first day I was impressed by the open approach, parent involvement and emphasis not only on academic achievement but on building sound ,kind open minded personalities while respecting and integrating local customs and values.Both my children and us appreciate the school spirit, way of teaching and how it really helps shape and refine their personalities and how it brings out the best in them in a way they enjoy without being stressed out

This school clearly has its heart in the right place. They treat our children with the same level of sensitivity that we treat them with at home. They nurture them into the leaders of tomorrow . I am very satisfied with the curriculum academics and mainly the safe environment provided by the staff.
