Junior Secondary

At AIS Sharjah, the Junior Secondary years are a time of growth, exploration, and preparation. From Grades 7 to 9, we build upon the strong foundations laid in the Primary School, guiding students toward success in their Senior years and beyond.

A Strong Curriculum with Global Vision

We follow the Australian Curriculum, delivered by our exceptional team of Australian educators. Our programs are designed to foster a love of lifelong learning within a rigorous, supportive environment.

Learning takes place in state-of-the-art classrooms and specialist labs, with a strong emphasis on student wellbeing, collaboration, and flexible, student-centered teaching. We integrate digital technologies across all learning areas, preparing students for the demands of today’s world.
