School Profile
The Australian International School (AIS) is a private, non-denominational, international school for expatriate and Filipino children. The School was established in 1964 as a preschool and expanded into grade school in the 1990's. The school has always focused on each student as an individual and on the delivery of international educational standards.

The curriculum is international in scope and is based on the inquiry method, particularly in the primary and middle school years.  The Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) is offered at the Senior Secondary level.  Students sit the Australian National Exam at the completion of their 12th year.
