AIS, located at 264 Mai Chi Tho, An Phu Ward, Thu Duc City, welcomes students from all over the world and teaches from kindergarten to high school grades (2 to 18 years old).

The school has intensively invested in facilities for a comprehensive education program, helping students develop on three main foundations: academics, arts, and sports.

Specifically, the school focuses on training life skills, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork in accordance with UNESCO's criteria, encouraging education systems to prioritize "happy learning."

According to UNESCO's Happy Schools initiative, educational programs are encouraged to stay balanced between physical and mental well-being.

"This is the reason AIS orients students to develop on three main foundations: academics, arts, and sports," a school representative said.

Regarding academics, the school teaches globally recognized educational programs such as the International Baccalaureate (IB) and International Secondary School Certificate of Cambridge (IGCSE).

The school is also accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), ensuring graduates to receive globally recognized qualifications and knowledge.

Regarding arts, the school encourages students to develop their talents through cultural performances at important events of the year.

In addition, students learn music and become familiar with musical instruments appropriate to their aptitude and age.

"Music being included in education helps students develop performance skills and a deep understanding of music, an important part of global culture," the school representative said.

At the end of 2023, AIS successfully organized the Sports Festival of the Australian Association of International Schools Games (AISA Games 2023), attracting over 300 student competitors from five countries.

AIS is also one of a few international schools in Ho Chi Minh City to have a boarding house with full living and entertainment amenities, helping students focus on their studies and personal development.
