AIS engages different global curricula across its sub-schools. In 2007, the school adopted the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) for Elementary students. In Secondary school, students take the Australian Curriculum (Years 6 to 8); the Cambridge IGCSE (Years 9 and 10) and in Years 11 and 12, can choose to take either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP) or the New South Wales (NSW) Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations.
In 2022, AIS students achieved an average IB results of 34.7, and 54% of students received A*-A on the IGCSE exams.
