Introduction
AIA is an Australian-affiliated school network offering an IB continuum alongside the Australian Curriculum. The Coburg King Khalid Campus serves primary students (Prep–Year 5), with the Melbourne Senior Campus providing secondary education (Year 6–12). The program blends the International Baccalaureate framework with local NSW concepts and is delivered in an Islamic ethos. In the Primary Years Programme, students study English and Literacy, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography, Creative Arts, Health and Physical Education, Arabic Language, Islamic Studies, and Library, organized around six transdisciplinary themes and a Year 6 PYP Exhibition. MYP and DP are available in later years, supporting students through inquiry, collaboration and research. Arabic is taught as a LOTE; Islamic Studies are integrated across the curriculum. The MERIT wellbeing framework and Service as Action promote social and ethical learning, with documentation via Managebac.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- The enrolment procedure requires payment of the registration fee at application and payment of the enrolment bond and associated acceptance fees to confirm an offered place. The school uses an online parent/account portal (TASS Parent Lounge) for parent access to accounts and school communications. Specific invoicing frequency (termly, yearly or instalments) and due dates are managed through the Academy's tuition fees and levies statements and accounts system; parents are required to meet all tuition and levy payment obligations in accordance with the Academy's Fee Policy.

Summary of findings and limits of publicly available detail
- Publicly available campus pages and school‑directory listings provide clear statements of the registration fee, the enrolment guarantee bond, before/after care session fees and general refund rules, together with third‑party listings of typical annual tuition amounts by year level. The school's detailed official tuition and levies statement, invoicing schedules (term/invoice due dates), and an official per‑term breakdown for each year level are controlled via the Academy's Tuition Fees and Levies Statement and fee policy documents and the school's parent accounts portal; those specific per‑term invoice schedules and a downloadable, campus‑specific per‑year, per‑term fee table were not published in a single public fee table on the campus pages consulted.
If you need a precisely itemised per‑term table for each year level for entry into your database, the Academy issues official tuition and levies statements to families and via the parent accounts system that contain the definitive per‑term schedules and invoicing options.
