School Purpose

Serving families from Hong Kong’s local and expatriate communities since 1986, the American International School (AIS) is a private, fully accredited co-educational international school for students from Early Childhood through to Grade 12. As a college-preparatory school, AIS offers a strong academic program based on US educational standards supported through teaching that reflects international best-practices.

AIS is committed to providing students with a rigorous, well-balanced educational experience that will challenge them academically, stimulate their thinking and provide them with opportunities to grow into confident young men and women, committed to life-long learning and prepared for the responsibilities of global citizenship.

Recognized for its positive, student-centered approach to teaching and learning, AIS values the sense of community within the school. The school emblem, the eagle, is a universal symbol of strength, endurance and pride that unites everyone in our community under the motto: Justice, Knowledge and Love.
