An inclusive environment

Offering a world-class Australian education from Preschool to Year 10 presently. AIS Balikpapan is a friendly and lively community with students from all backgrounds and with all abilities. The school is highly regarded for its inclusive education and school culture where a diverse student population is able to develop independence, responsibility and a love of learning.

The learning begins in our primary years where students are encouraged to develop a sense of belonging, to learn who they are, and how they learn. They are given an opportunity to reach their full potential and to work at their own level in each subject area.

“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”- Confucius.

Students are encouraged to explore, experiment, discover, and most of all, do.
