The Australian International Academy is an independent registered educational institution managed by an Academy Trust. It began in 1983 as King Khalid Islamic College, Australia's first Islamic school. The Coburg primary campus was established after the 1982 purchase with funding from the late King Khalid of Saudi Arabia, and the campuses were named after him. The Melbourne Secondary Campus started in 1991 with Years 7–8 and expanded to Year 12 with VCE and IB by 1995. In 2014 a Caroline Springs campus opened, and the college was renamed the Australian International Academy, comprising King Khalid Coburg Campus, Melbourne Senior Campus, Caroline Springs Primary Campus, and Caroline Springs Senior Campus.
The Australian International Academy recognises a nation of immigrants and cherishes the multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-faith nature and aspirations of our society, and enjoins all students to cultivate a universal outlook on life and to broaden horizons in tolerance, compassion and cooperation. We seek to prevent discrimination on the grounds of race and religion in the classroom, in the playground, in cultural activities and in school social life. The Qur'an expresses that all people are created from a single pair and that the most honoured in the sight of God is the most righteous, reinforcing the academy's commitment to inclusive values.
The Australian International Academy Caroline Springs Campus offers a broad, recognised program that blends the Australian Curriculum with the International Baccalaureate. The Primary Campus (Prep to Year 5) delivers the IB Primary Years Programme alongside ACARA in a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based framework. Arabic language and Religious Studies are taught at all levels, with additional modern languages offered as numbers allow. The Senior Campus delivers the IB Diploma Programme for Years 11-12, with six subjects (three HL, three SL), plus Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay and CAS. The Diploma prepares students for university study, and the Senior Campus is a Candidate School for the IB Middle Years Programme. The college has a long history, originating as King Khalid Islamic College in 1983, and opened the Caroline Springs Campus in 2014. AIA provides a range of after-school activities including debating, calligraphy, language forums and esports, together with chess and camp activities, each week.
