Australian International School Hong Kong (AISHK; Traditional Chinese: 香港澳洲國際學校) is a co-educational international school in located in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. Founded in 1995, the school follows the New South Wales curriculum where senior students in Years 11 and 12 can either pursue the Higher School Certificate of the New South Wales Board of Studies or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Operating on an Australian school year (late January to mid December), AISHK aims to facilitate an easier transition for those students entering from, or returning to, Australian or Southern Hemisphere schools or tertiary institutions. Current enrolment stands at 1,100 students from Reception to Year 12. With 27 nationalities represented in its student body, around 72% of the student body claims Australian or New Zealand citizenship. AISHK is widely considered to be one of the most prestigious international schools in Hong Kong.
The school was founded to fulfill the growing demand for an Australian educational institution in Hong Kong. The school opened on 6 February 1995 and in 1999 the first group Year 10 students were awarded their NSW School Certificate. The school’s new permanent campus in Kowloon Tong opened on the 4 September 2001, with student numbers growing to over 500 students that year.
