A School That Builds Confidence

American International School (AIS) Hong Kong is centrally located in Kowloon Tong and has been providing a rigorous, high-quality American education to local and international students since 1986. Each year, AIS graduates are accepted to prestigious universities in the United States, Hong Kong, and around the world. Our family-centered, close-knit school community fosters a strong sense of belonging and shared purpose among students, parents, and educators alike. Organized into three divisions—Elementary, Middle, and High School—AIS serves approximately 972 students from Early Childhood through Grade 12. The school has been fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) for over 40 years, reflecting our long-standing commitment to excellence and continuous improvement

AIS’s founding Core Values of Justice, Knowledge, and Love remain the hallmark of our educational philosophy. These values are embedded in every aspect of school life, guiding our relationships, decision-making, and learning experiences. Our Expected School-wide Learning Results (ESLRs) outline what all AIS students should know, understand, and be able to do as Empowered Thinkers, Effective Communicators, Well-rounded Individuals, and Global Citizens. Through our Social, Personal, and Applied Learning Model—supported by Essential Practices used in every classroom from Early Childhood to Grade 12—students develop the skills, mindsets, and character needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Above all, AIS builds student Confidence, the key outcome of our Future Framework.

Our challenging academic program is enriched by a wide range of co-curricular opportunities that support the whole child. Students can explore their passions through vibrant visual and performing arts programs, extensive intramural and varsity athletics, experiential learning opportunities, leadership development, and meaningful community service. These experiences help students grow socially, emotionally, and ethically while strengthening teamwork, resilience, and leadership skills. Families are also an important part of the AIS community, coming together for events such as Winter Fair, Band Slam, talent shows, drama performances, and art exhibitions that celebrate creativity, connection, and school spirit.

AIS is proud to be an Apple Distinguished School, harnessing the power of technology to enhance learning, creativity, and innovation. By integrating Apple tools across the curriculum, we empower students to move beyond consuming information to creating original content, solving real-world problems, and sharing their ideas with a global audience. This focus on Creative Confidence prepares students with future-ready skills in communication, design, collaboration, and digital fluency—capabilities that set AIS graduates apart.

From Early Childhood through Grade 12, AIS delivers an affordable, comprehensive education that nurtures academic excellence, personal growth, and social responsibility. Our students graduate as confident, compassionate, and capable individuals, ready to face the future with optimism and purpose. At AIS, learning is meaningful, community is strong, and every student is supported to reach their full potential. Come and experience the difference an American International School education can make.
