What Audentes International School does

Audentes International School (AIS) is a private, non-profit educational institution located in Tallinn, Estonia, operated under the Audentes School Foundation (Audentese Koolide SA). The school delivers the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum to students aged 11-19 through three interconnected programmes: the Middle Years Programme (MYP) launched in 2026 with Grade 7, the Pre-IB preparatory year for Grade 10, and the two-year Diploma Programme (DP) for Grades 11-12. The school has been an authorized IB World School for the Diploma Programme since 2011, when it launched with four students, and currently serves nearly 100 students from more than 10 countries.

The school's product surface centres on the IB pedagogical framework, including 16 subject offerings in the Diploma Programme, criteria-based assessment (1-7 scale, maximum 45 diploma points), and inquiry-based learning methodology. Supporting infrastructure includes an on-site dormitory with monthly rental of €250-400 per student, sports facilities (gym, swimming pool, studios), a school library with approximately 10,000 books, and ancillary services including psychological and career counselling, medical services, and catering provided by Baltic Restaurants Estonia AS. The school maintains partnerships with Unifrog for university pathway guidance, the International Baccalaureate Organization, and Erasmus+ programme collaborators in Finland, France, Germany, and Spain.

Revenue is generated through tuition fees (€8,600 annually for MYP and Pre-IB; €11,200 for the Diploma Programme), dormitory accommodation on a monthly basis, and ancillary catering and fee income. Admissions operate on a direct sales basis with an annual cycle opening March 1 for the following academic year, supported by Open Door Days held in March through May. Family discounts of 10-20% and a 5% advance payment discount are offered, alongside scholarships for outstanding IB candidates. As a non-profit foundation entity, AIS does not have external investors and reinvests operating surplus into the school's educational mission.
