Australian International Islamic College

What Australian International Islamic College does

Australian International Islamic College (AIIC) is a private Islamic K-12 educational institution operating five campuses across Queensland (Durack, Gold Coast, City/Brisbane, Logan) and the Northern Territory (Darwin), serving Muslim families through a holistic integration of traditional Islamic studies with the Australian national curriculum regulated by QCAA. The college delivers educational programs from Kindergarten through Year 12, including a Lower Primary program (Prep-Year 2), Upper Primary (Years 3-6), Secondary (Years 7-12) with QCE/ATAR pathways, vocational pathways via VET certificates, and a dedicated STEM program housed in the Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al-Maktoum STEM Research Building with 3D printing, Softbank Robotics, and VR capabilities. Specialized Islamic offerings include the Hifz Excellence Program (Quran memorization), Hajj Incursion, Annual Quran Competition (drawing 500+ students), and Jalsa cultural celebration.

The business model is fundamentally a multi-campus K-12 subscription tuition operation, with revenue derived from recurring term/semester tuition fees (international fees of $6,500-$7,500 per semester with CRICOS accreditation across three campuses; local fees with 10% and 30% sibling discounts), supplemented by recurring bus transport subscriptions ($80-$100/week or $800-$1,000/term depending on distance), one-time book pack purchases via Box of Books ($515-$799/year), and one-time non-refundable enrollment fees (AUD $100 local, AUD $250 international). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through five physical campuses with online self-serve enrollment, while marketing relies on community referral, Prep Discovery Days, and social media channels.

The technology stack is administrative rather than AI-enabled: a TASS school management system (Parent Lounge, Staff Portal, Staff Kiosk, TASS.Web) sits behind operations, with the AIIC App and AIIC Connect portal providing parent-facing digital touchpoints integrated with ClassDojo for teacher communication and Flexischools for tuckshop e-commerce. Classrooms feature interactive whiteboards, commercial-grade WiFi, and a BYOD program for Years 5-12. The institution is governed by the Australian International Islamic College Board Inc (with Mohammed Taher Sukkarieh as Vice Board Chairperson) and operates with over 200 staff, with leadership including Deputy Principal Raihana Ferdous and Head of Campus Tevfik Kerimoglu.
