What Australian International School does

Australian International School (AUSIS) is a private K-12 international school established in 2002 and operating from a single campus at 480, Purbachal Expressway, Khilkhet, Dhaka-1229, Bangladesh. It is the only IB World School in Bangladesh offering a dual credential pathway through the International Baccalaureate (Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and Diploma Programme) and the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). The school serves 512 students aged roughly 3-19, supported by 102 staff, with a cumulative alumni base of 750 graduates over its 23-year history.

The school's product is its academic continuum, delivered through the IB and Australian curriculum frameworks and supported by IT, science, and library facilities plus Arts and Culture and Recreation and Wellness programmes. In 2025, the Dhaka Education Board formally recognized the IB Diploma Programme under the Rules of Equivalence Certificate 2025, providing local credential equivalence and strengthening the school's regulatory standing. In 2026, the school's Class of 2026 MYP results surpassed global IB averages, and its students won the Aurora Unity Cup 2026 championship.

AUSIS operates a sales-led, direct-admission GTM targeting expatriate families and affluent Bangladeshi families seeking globally portable academic credentials for overseas university admission. Revenue derives from recurring annual tuition fees, with specific pricing kept off the public website and disclosed only on direct inquiry. The school distributes exclusively through its own admissions office and single Dhaka campus, with no intermediaries, channel partners, or satellite locations. Ownership and management identities beyond the existence of a Chairman, Managing Director, and Principal are not disclosed in available data.
