SA Students – Why Choose Adelaide International School (AIS)?

A smarter pathway for curious, capable students

AIS offers the Cambridge International program – a curriculum designed for thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. Here, students learn how to think – not just what to remember.

At AIS, we offer flexible study programs which are tailored to meet your child’s needs.  We pride ourselves in providing extra guidance to build understanding and where we stretch and challenge learners.

Year 10 SA Students – AIS?

Join us in Year 10 to undertake a new and exciting course that taps into your love of learning new things.  Our Year 10 IGCSE courses sit as electives within the Australian National Curriculum.  IGCSE courses are rich in content and boost your knowledge and understanding of key subject areas such as Maths, English, History, Science and language – plus you get a certified qualification that will assist you with entry into any Cambridge A-level program worldwide.

Year 11 and 12 AS and A-level Students – Why Choose AIS?

Join us in Year 11 and Year 12.  Specialise in just 3 or 4 subjects you really enjoy with the knowledge that you will not have lots of coursework.  Instead, learn how to prepare for the end-of-year examinations and gain your ATAR for university in Australia or consider going overseas.

Year 11 and Year 12 SACE

Alternatively, speak to us about joining our SACE program.  We work with our students to find the easiest and best pathway to achieve SACE certification and an ATAR.  All our students do a vocational Certificate 3 as a back-up, which has the added benefits of carrying 60 SACE credits and equips you with an industry-related qualification.

Cambridge Rewards Thinking

The Cambridge International curriculum values creativity, independent thought, and real-world application. It challenges you to explore ideas, question assumptions, and prove what you are capable of. Students can develop a broad range of skills and attributes to help them thrive in life and be ready for the world.

• Finally, a program that fits how you think, not just how you test.

A Place to Belong

AIS creates a flexible learning environment. Here, smart, curious students who felt lost elsewhere find a community that understands and values them.

• Rediscover confidence, connection, and a genuine love of learning.

The Cambridge International program is built for students who want more from their education. It fosters intellectual curiosity, creativity, and analytical thinking – skills that traditional programs often overlook.

• Your child’s potential is recognised, nurtured, and fully developed.
