Where Faith Meets Future.

The Australian International Academy (AIA) is a leading Islamic school and IB World School, committed to delivering an education that nurtures the mind, heart, and soul. With schools in both Strathfield and Kellyville we serve a diverse and vibrant community of students and families united by shared values and high aspirations.

"The AIA schools exist for two intertwined threads that cannot be separated: the education thread and the personal development thread. The education thread is all about knowledge, understanding, skills development and academic achievement. The personal development thread is all about character building, values, attitudes and the type of people AIA want to develop and produce.

The two threads are intertwined and strongly influence each other. Growth and development in one largely impact the other. Students who have a growth mindset, who develop good attitudes, characteristics, values and habits will achieve good educational outcomes and progress academically and vice versa. These two intertwined threads help us realise Our vision and mission which is to “have graduates who are well prepared and self-motivated to advance Australia and to participate effectively as world citizens with Muslim values.

This is what AIA schools are about. Supporting our Australian Muslim children, giving them a safe space and opportunities where they can build their character, intellectually, spiritually, socially and academically so that they are prepared for the outside world."

OUR VISION

Building Future Leaders

To have graduates who are well prepared and self-motivated to advance Australia and to participate effectively as World citizens with Muslim values.

Our aim is to provide quality education in a caring and supportive Islamic faith environment. We encourage our students to aim for personal excellence and to develop skills for independent learning and critical thinking.

We utilise a variety of programs to promote self-esteem, self-discipline, responsibility and leadership.

We aim to foster in our graduates, an awareness of interdependence as members of a multicultural community and the world, and to develop in them a sense of services well as a commitment to act with justice and compassion.

IB MISSION

International Baccalaureate

The IB develops inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding
and respect.

We value our hard-earned reputation for quality, for high standards and for pedagogical leadership. We achieve our goals by working with partners and by actively involving our stakeholders, particularly teachers.

We promote intercultural understanding and respect, not as an alternative to a sense of cultural and national identity, but as an essential part of life in the 21st century.
