Established in 2000, the Australian International School Malaysia (AISM) was founded
by Principal Peter Moxham. AISM began its days as a small school situated at Country
Heights. In 2003, the school moved to its purpose built premises at the Mines Resort
City in Seri Kembangan and currently has a population of around 600 students from
Preparation to Year 12 matriculation. AISM celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2010, and
continues to provide quality Australian education in Malaysia.
Our Purpose
To educate the youth of the world to take their productive places as leaders in the global
community
Our Mission
AISM will strive to provide each individual with an excellent Australian style of education
in a global context
Our Vision
Our school sees each student as an individual with different abilities and different needs.
For this reason there is an emphasis on work differentiation within classes so that the
specific needs of each student can be addressed in a way that allows individual success,
whilst maintaining the cohesion of the class and ensuring that all the basic skills and
concepts are mastered by all students to the best of their ability. This process allows
enrichment for those who can work ahead of the class and assistance for those who may
find some aspects of the work challenging.
Through our academic curriculum, community events, co-curricular activities and such programmes, we aim to motivate our students to achieve success in its many forms. All students are expected to become responsible citizens, with strong core values and community spirit, ready to explore the world beyond AISM, as this should be the arena for even greater success.
In 2012, AISM made it to the top 200 schools in New South Wales. There are over 800 secondary schools in New South Wales, and therefore AISM is in the top 25% based on this measure. In the same year, Claire Willemse, a Year 6 student won the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) Gold Medal for the Science competition and was recognised as the top student in Malaysia with the award.
In 2013, AISM was hugely successful in the Language Perfect World Championships, coming 36th out of 1054 schools.
AISM students have gained entry in top universities in Australia and throughout the world. Recently an AISM student was accepted to the top 10 universities in the United Kingdom.
AISM is registered and accredited to deliver the Australian, New South Wales Board of
Studies curriculum. Delivered by Australian teachers, the curriculum is taught in English
and offers a seamless transition into education pathways in Australia. The credentials
awarded by the Board of Studies are also recognised internationally and offer articulation
into institutions in other countries. The new Australian national curriculum places
priority on preparing students to engage with Asia and to succeed in the Asian century.
We offer the Higher School Certificate (HSC) at the end of Year 12 (age 18). The Year 12 qualification is used for university entry worldwide.

All AISM students are required to achieve an age appropriate grade on the online test for literacy and numeracy skills in English. Students from a non-native English speaking background who demonstrate capability to improve their English and to engage with the curriculum through additional testing will be accepted. In such cases, the students are required to undertake additional English Language support and this additional cost is to be borne by parent.
Upon submission of the application and availability of place, all applicants except Preparation and Kindergarten students will be scheduled for an entrance assessment which consists of literacy and numeracy tests.
Applicants from Year 3 onwards can undertake the online entrance testing at AISM or if preferred at their home country under appropriate supervision. Also, applicants will be interviewed by the respective Head of School. Either one or both parents or guardians are required to be present during the interview.
Enrolment is subject to the availability of places in the requested year group and satisfactory results in the entrance assessment. Enrolment is open to all nationalities.
Expatriate Parents
Parents must show evidence of work permit approval or a relevant and valid visa granted
by Malaysian Immigration.
Malaysian Students
Approval from the local Ministry of Education (MOE) prior to starting school is no longer
necessary. However, Malaysian students are still required to study Malaysian Studies in
compliance with the Ministry of Education's requirements.
