About this school
Australian International School (AIS Manila) is a private school on Dr Arcadio Santos Avenue in Parañaque, founded by Eleanor Powell Esteban. The school says it is the only school in the Philippines accredited both by the Philippine Department of Education and, through its partnership with Haileybury in Melbourne, by Australia's Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
The school is organised into four stages:
- Preschool: Pre-Kinder 1, Pre-Kinder 2 and Kindergarten for ages 3 to 5
- Primary: a six-year programme covering literacy, numeracy, science, social sciences, financial and digital literacy
- Junior Secondary: a four-year programme with subject-specialist teachers and the AIS-ReD research and innovation programme
- Senior Secondary: a two-year dual-certification programme leading to both Philippine and Australian qualifications
In Senior Secondary, students take the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and receive an ATAR ranking used for university entry. Assessment runs across the two years rather than relying only on final exams, and local teachers are trained and mentored by Haileybury subject specialists. Graduation is in June.
