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.
