AIS stands as a beacon of excellence in education within the United Arab Emirates. Nested in the heart of the UAE, our institution offers a unique educational journey, providing students with a rich understanding of Arabic and Islamic language and culture. We seamlessly integrate this cultural exploration with the globally acclaimed Australian National Curriculum, ensuring a well-rounded and internationally recognised education.

Our commitment to excellence is evident in our sprawling campus, one of the largest in the Emirates, where students have the space to explore, learn, and thrive. Equipped with cutting-edge teaching and learning labs, AUS embraces innovation to prepare students for the challenges of the future. Beyond academics, we prioritise the holistic well-being of our students, teachers, and an innovative environment that sets the stage for AIS to emerge as one of the most distinguished schools in the UAE.

All AIS staff play a pivotal role in delivering quality education to students. Our core business is to teach and instill a lifelong love of learning. Every staff member contributes to AIS's vision through a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning, a rigour and challenging curriculum that embraces a multicultural, international perspective, as well as fair and equitable work practices. By fostering productive partnerships with the school community, we provide students with opportunities to acquire knowledge, pursue special interests, and develop essential social and intercultural skills. These efforts collectively contribute to the school's strong sense of community. 

The work of our staff is underpinned by our professionalism, our commitment to upholding high standards of ethical conduct, and our dedication to the care of our students. As we deliver our educational services, it is essential to articulate clearly what is expected of us in terms of our conduct and performance. These high expectations lead to the formation of a tremendously supportive and cohesive team of experienced staff members, creating an expert educational environment in which both personal and professional growth can thrive and flourish.
