Our Kellyville Campus is located in the fast-growing Hills region northwest of Sydney. This region is a unique combination of semi-rural farm-lets, older suburban homes, and modern luxury residences adjacent to natural creeks and bushland. The area offers various lifestyle options and is serviced by a Bus T-Way from the East and arterial roads from Sydney's Northern and Western regions.
The design of the Kellyville Campus complements the surrounds and provides extensive, airy, naturally lit spaces for learning to flourish. The grounds are littered with native plants making the environment of the School, both aesthetic and sustainable.
Our campus opened in 2013, with 20 students from K-6. In the 2016 school year, we had over 300 students from K-10. The School currently has more than 420 enrolments and caters to students from KG to Year 12. As a brand new school, we offer our students outstanding facilities across our primary and secondary schools on one campus.
We aim to provide quality education in a caring and supportive Islamic faith environment. We encourage our students to aim for personal excellence and develop independent learning and critical thinking skills. We utilize a variety of programs to promote self-esteem, self-discipline, responsibility, and leadership.
We aim to foster in our graduates an awareness of interdependence as members of a multicultural community and the world and develop a sense of service and a commitment to act with justice and compassion.
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

These programs encourage students worldwide to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The Australian International Academy curriculum for the Middle School from Years 7 to 10 focuses on developing the "whole student" in their academic studies, personal and co-curricular achievements, and social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We strive to give each student a broad, well-rounded education while allowing them the maximum opportunity to develop and fulfill the potential of their interests and strengths.
The Australian International Academy curriculum for Senior Secondary students Years 11 and 12 focuses on developing the "whole student" to extend further and challenge each student's academic, personal, and co-curricular achievements and enhance their social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The primary focus of the Senior Secondary School at AIA is to prepare students for University and further study while preserving an environment that allows for the expression of the student's Islamic character.

The AIA Islamic Studies curriculum covers broad areas of Islam, including the Quraan, Hadeeth, Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah, and Akhlaaq (Islamic Character Education). The key concept used in our Islamic studies department is the Tarbiyyah Model. This model's focus is not only on learning the theory part of Islamic knowledge but also on the complete personal development of a student. Students are provided with motivating and entertaining Islamic knowledge.
Our lessons are approached using the twin techniques of "fun – learn" and "learn – understand – apply." Using the first approach, we create fun lessons, encouraging and motivating our students to learn their faith. Using the second approach, we craft lessons that allow our students to practice what they learn. InshaAllah, this way of learning will boost our students' image and make them feel proud of their identity.
