We provide the necessary support and resources for our students, moulding the pathways for them to fulfil their potential. Student success is not measured by only an end of the year examination, but a holistic and balanced assessment approach throughout the year.
Our Year 12 students are recognised in Australia and worldwide for their outstanding academic performance in their Higher School Certificate (equivalent to A-Levels or IB Diploma).
In 2018, AISM achieved the Best Higher School Certificate results outside of Australia.

Assessment Approach
AISM has improved its ranking amongst New South Wales (NSW) schools from 275 in 2017 to 102nd in 2018. Our success rate in the Higher School Certificate examinations has also improved from 6.28% in 2017 to 14.55% in 2018, well above the median for NSW schools at 5.47%.
From a cohort of 37 students, thirteen students were awarded with Distinguished Achievements (Band 6 results) which is equivalent to A* in A-levels. This represents almost 30% of students, an improvement from last year’s 20%.
All students in Years 3 to 10 complete the annual International Schools’ Assessment tests. These assessments are set and marked externally by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Click here to see the full list of schools.
We are very excited to report that our students have improved in almost all areas, across all year levels, in addition to scoring results that place them well ahead of their international peers.
- In 2018, AISM students were benchmarked against 87,000 students in over 370 schools around the world.
- AISM is currently using the ISA data to monitor individual student and cohort data so that we can adjust our teaching to address any identified areas of need.
- In every age group for every component (Mathematics, Reading, Creative Writing and Expository Writing), our students were above or substantially above ALL schools in ALL year levels.
- Of particular note were the Mathematics results, where AISM was substantially above SIMILAR schools in ALL of the 8 year levels that participated.
- Expository Writing results were also excellent, with our students substantially above SIMILAR schools in SIX of the 8 year levels that participated.
- Comparing our 2017 and 2018 data, our students have improved or maintained their previous high standard in all areas, achieving much improvement in creative writing. A focus on improving creative writing will continue in 2019.
AISM students are accepted into top universities all around the world with their internationally recognised Higher School Certificate results.
