Dear Parents and Guardians,
At AJIS, we believe that a strong foundation is the key to future success. From the earliest years of education through to graduation, our seamless K-12 learning journey equips students with the skills, confidence, and experiences they need to excel academically and secure a place at their university of choice. The sooner your child begins their journey with AJIS, the sooner they develop the critical thinking, leadership, and global mindset necessary to stand out in a competitive world.
Why Start Your AJIS Journey Early?
A K-12 Education Designed for Long-Term Success
At AJIS, education is a carefully structured journey, with each stage building upon the last to ensure students develop the skills, resilience, and academic excellence required for higher education and beyond. Starting early at AJIS means your child will:
- Develop essential inquiry, communication, and leadership skills from an early age.
- Gain continuous exposure to a rigorous, globally recognised curriculum.
- Enjoy a personalised learning experience that evolves with their strengths and ambitions.
A Clear Pathway to University
AJIS offers two distinct high school diploma pathways, allowing students to tailor their education to their goals:
- The IB Diploma Programme (DP) – A globally respected academic programme that opens doors to the world’s leading universities.
- The Global Leadership Diploma (GLD) – A unique, AJIS-designed qualification that blends leadership, entrepreneurship, and hands-on projects, ideal for students pursuing careers in business, innovation, and creative industries.
By starting early at AJIS, students build the academic foundation, problem-solving skills, and leadership experiences that make them stand out in university applications.
