AIS and The UAE
The Australian International School Sharjah is firmly established in the Emirate of Sharjah and plays an active role within the UAE’s education landscape. Guided by Australian educational excellence and the values of the UAE, AIS Sharjah is committed to respect, tolerance, inclusion, and high aspirations for every learner.
Belonging & Excellence
Our diverse international community includes over 1,800 students from more than 50 nationalities, creating a school culture built on belonging and mutual respect. UAE heritage and values are embedded across school life through Arabic language learning, Islamic Studies, Moral Education, and daily interactions, alongside a strong international outlook.
Reflecting the UAE’s commitment to high-quality education, AIS Sharjah is the only full Australian Curriculum school in the UAE, offering a clearly defined pathway to graduation through the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and ATAR. Our students progress to leading universities in the UAE and globally, with senior students consistently achieving results well above Australian national standards in English, Mathematics, and Science through QCAA external assessments
Inclusion & Innovation
In line with the UAE’s vision for an inclusive society, inclusion and belonging are fundamental at AIS Sharjah. As a non-selective school, we welcome families who align with our values and work in partnership to support high expectations for learning. Through inclusive practices, targeted support structures, and a strong focus on wellbeing, every student is known, valued, and supported to succeed. AIS Sharjah continues to strengthen inclusive education across the Emirate of Sharjah and the wider UAE.
Looking ahead, innovation remains a key focus at AIS Sharjah. In alignment with national priorities, a new Technology and Innovation Centre will open in August 2026, enhancing opportunities for digital learning, design thinking, and emerging technologies. This development reflects our commitment to preparing students with the skills and confidence required for future pathways
