AIS uses a two-season uniform system: summer (August–November) and winter (December–March). The summer uniform consists of a white AIS shirt and navy bottoms with white socks and black shoes; the winter uniform includes a blazer, navy sweater or vest, white shirt, navy bottoms, and black shoes, with Grade 12 seniors wearing a Senior Tie.
On-campus catering is provided by Café Concepts from 8:00am to 1:30pm on school days, offering hot meals, sandwiches, soups, noodles, salads, baked potatoes, pizzas and snacks. Lunch is purchased with credit stored on student ID cards and all canteen transactions are cashless; there is an optional monthly lunch plan for Grade 1–4. Students may bring their own lunch; microwaves are available in the canteen, and EC2 and Grade 1 Junior students eat in classrooms.
AIS has three Houses: Phoenix, Tiger, and Dragon. Students are assigned to a house on joining and compete in house activities and events.
The school is governed and financed independently. It is registered by the Hong Kong Education Bureau and fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
American International School (AIS) serves students ages 3–18 on a single Kowloon Tong campus. The American curriculum includes a broad Advanced Placement (AP) offering in High School, alongside credit-based graduation requirements in English, math, science, humanities, world languages and more. Instruction is primarily in English, with Mandarin in earlier years and Mandarin, French, or Spanish options in High School. Beyond academics, AIS highlights Visual & Performing Arts and competitive AIS Eagles athletics. A distinctive hallmark is the Outdoor Education & Leadership Program, including Service in Action Week, where High School students undertake a week-long overseas trip focused on service and experiential learning.
