At AISM, we lay the foundations for academic success, a love of learning, a healthy lifestyle and a commitment to the community and leadership.
Similar to A Levels, IB Diploma or STPM, our Years 11 and 12 studies culminate in the award of the New South Wales Higher School Certificate (NSW HSC). This provides a flexible curriculum pathway to either specialise in a specific field or complete a wide range of subjects.
“I was adamant with my parents about joining the Higher School Certificate (Australian pre-University program) because of the diverse subjects”, says Denyce Ng, our HSC top 3 overall student in the world (for French Beginners)!
Through the HSC program, Denyce prepared herself for tertiary education by fostering both personal growth and academic performance.
Students choose their subject specialisations in Year 11, but they cannot change in Year 12. However, many students choose an extra subject in Year 11, which they can choose to withdraw from in Year 12. Find out more about the HSC and its assessments on the NSW Board of Studies website.
At AISM, we follow the principles of Visible Learning to teach our learners the tools of success. The cornerstone of our work is based on the NESA curriculum, internationally known for its academic breadth and rigour, while meeting Australian and international standards.
About 50% of AISM graduates were accepted into universities worldwide, while 30% of our graduates go to Australian universities. The rest choose to pursue their tertiary education in Malaysia.
Pre-University students have the opportunity to complete a wide range of subjects through one to one mentoring programs via distance education.
While some have it nailed down right from the start, many students are unsure of what they want to specialise in their tertiary education. Therefore, students can choose to specialise for the Higher School Certificate or keep their options open by studying a broad base of subjects. The only mandatory subject is English, which can be studied at different ability levels. Students have the option of studying at least 6 subjects in Year 11 and 5 subjects in Year 12.
Fifty percent of the Higher School Certificate final examination is assessed internally through various projects, assignments, tests, presentations and other methods. The remaining 50% is determined by end of the year examinations set by New South Wales Education Standards Authority. This experience of consistently being assessed through varied methods mirrors the experience of being in university where a lot of focus is placed on assignments and presentations.
Pre-University students have the opportunity to attend a leadership camp at Trinity College, University of Melbourne. This provides a university residential college life experience, in preparation for their first year of tertiary education. During this camp, students go through a series of leadership activities and will be mentored by the high-achieving University of Melbourne students.
Our Pre-University students study the Higher School Certificate (New South Wales Australian curriculum), which also leads to being awarded an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), which is a credential used for applications into universities all over the world.
Students have a choice of selecting English, Advanced English or Advanced English or English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D), which must meet the NSW Board of Studies ESL criteria.
Students choose their subject specialisations in Year 11, but they cannot change in Year 12. However, many students choose an extra subject in Year 11, which they can choose to withdraw from in Year 12. Find out more about the HSC and its assessments on the NSW Board of Studies website.
At the senior level, students are able to choose 10 to 14 units of study in a variety of combinations:
