vision
The Australian International School is the only school in Iraq that offers an Australian curriculum-based global education for students from the age of 5 years to12 years.
Australian International School has a vision to be known internationally as an institution which represents educational excellence in all aspects of its operation. Our school philosophy commits us fully to the notion of a holistic, rounded education, which cherishes the arts and sports as well as academics as essential dimensions of each student’s education. We are equally committed to teaching our students to have a moral commitment to making our world a better place as reflective, caring, knowledgeable and principled people. At AIS, each child is special, each is important.

Bridging Cultures Through World Languages
An international curriculum and global outlook ensure our students are equipped to succeed in today's increasingly globalised world. Our dedicated global languages program empowers our students to succeed in the 21st century by developing proficiency in a foreign language and cultivating a deep understanding of world cultures.

Our academically robust, comprehensive and high level English as an Additional Language (EAL) program is tailored and resourced to provide optimal conditions for the academic and personal success of students.
The program aims:
1. To provide immediate, short term acquisition of sufficient English to ensure a seamless integration into both academic and social school life
2. To strategically assist students to acquire a developed English proficiency to ensure success in the mainstream classroom without EAL support
At AIS, language support is available to all students for whom English is not a first Language from Prep onwards, in a number of forms, dependent on the level of support required
For secondary students, EAL is at the heart of our International Student University Preparation Program, preparing students for study at a university of their choice.
