School Leadership Team

Sourced from some of the best schools throughout Australia and the Emirates, the AIS leadership team is expertly trained, highly experienced and above all, incredibly passionate about delivering outstanding education in a nurturing and caring environment. Our leadership team’s collaborative ‘open door’ policy is a key feature of AIS success.

Australians are known for their approachability and relaxed nature, traits which are very evident in the AIS leadership team’s communication style. The belief that the best results for students are achieved through close and respectful partnerships between home and school is evidenced by the encouraged parental contact with the school, something which is reciprocated with clear communication from AIS.

One of our greatest strengths is the caring, friendly and professional nature of our leadership team: they may be contacted at any time via email, phone or in person at our administration office.
