About this school
Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK) was founded in 1995 and is a Reception (K2) to Year 12 co-educational day school. It describes itself as the only school in Hong Kong offering the Australian curriculum, and it follows the Australian school year, running from late January to mid-December. AISHK has about 1,200 students from 25 nationalities and is governed by the Australian International School Foundation Limited, a charitable body with representation from key Australian organisations in Hong Kong.
The academic pathway is:
- Primary (Prep to Year 6): the Australian Curriculum (ACARA), inquiry-based and including Australian Indigenous perspectives
- Years 7-10: core subjects of the New South Wales NESA curriculum across eight key learning areas
- Years 11-12: a choice between the NSW Higher School Certificate, which leads to an ATAR, and the IB Diploma Programme
Students are supported by Heads of Year, homeroom teachers and a House system named after Australian flora. The Kowloon Tong campus includes a sky pool and pitch, science labs, art studios and a sensory roof garden. School life also covers sport, the arts, service learning, activity weeks and camps.
