Australian International School, Parañaque

Australian International School (AIS), Parañaque, on Dr. Arcadio Santos Avenue in San Antonio, Parañaque, is the only school in the Philippines accredited by both the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) and, through a partnership with Haileybury School in Melbourne, Australia's Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). It was founded by Eleanor Powell Esteban. AIS offers Preschool (pre-kinder 1 for ages 3-4, pre-kinder 2 for ages 4-5, and Kindergarten for 5-year-olds), a six-year Primary School, a four-year Junior Secondary School, and a two-year Senior Secondary School delivering the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), a dual Philippine-Australian qualification recognized for university admission in Australia and internationally. Through the Haileybury partnership, AIS teachers are trained and mentored by subject specialists in Australia, and VCE assessment runs continuously over the two years rather than relying solely on final exams. Note: the address and coordinates on file place the campus in Parañaque, which does not match the city field of Quezon City recorded for this listing.
