About this school
American International School (AIS) was founded in 1986 by Dr Thomas T.S. Liang, who believed education could change lives, to give students an American-style international education leading to schools and universities in the United States and worldwide. Its core values are Justice, Knowledge and Love, and its emblem is the Eagle.
AIS is a through-train school for ages 3 to 18 on a single closed campus in Kowloon Tong, so Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle and High School students share the same site. The academic programme is US standards-based, with Advanced Placement courses in the upper years.
Key features described by the school:
- Play-based, inquiry-driven Early Childhood classes taught mainly in English, with Mandarin, music, art and PE from specialist teachers
- The Second Step programme for social-emotional learning
- Experiential learning, leadership training, community service and an outdoor education and leadership programme
- Recognition as an Apple Distinguished School and awards at the GBA School Awards, including for student leadership in 2026
The school emphasises a small-school feel, close links between age groups.
