About Australian International School Malaysia

Australian International School Malaysia (AISM) occupies a unique position in the Malaysian education market as the country’s only school delivering the Australian curriculum. While dozens of schools in the Klang Valley offer British or IB programmes, AISM is the sole pathway to the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (HSC) without leaving Malaysia. The school serves students from Nursery through Year 12 at its Seri Kembangan campus in The Mines Resort City.

AISM runs a 4-term calendar from January to December, matching the Australian academic year rather than the September start common at British-curriculum schools. For Australian expatriate families and those planning university study in Australia, this alignment simplifies transitions between schooling in Malaysia and tertiary education in Sydney, Melbourne, or elsewhere.

Curriculum at Australian International School Malaysia

AISM follows the Australian curriculum across all year levels, structured around the frameworks set by the New South Wales Education Standards Authority (NESA).

Early Years and Primary (Nursery to Year 6): The programme covers English, mathematics, science, humanities and social sciences, creative arts, and personal development. The Australian curriculum emphasises inquiry-based learning and cross-curricular connections.

Secondary (Years 7 to 10): Students follow the NSW secondary syllabus, covering a broader subject range including electives in technology, business, and additional languages. Assessment is continuous, building toward the senior years.

Senior (Years 11 to 12, HSC): Students prepare for the Higher School Certificate, selecting subjects from the NESA-approved list. The HSC is recognised by universities worldwide and generates an ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) for Australian university applications.
