The American International School of Sydney was an international school located in Epping, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[1]
The school operated, in part, under the sponsorship of the United States Ambassador to Australia and awarded the American High School Diploma, which all graduates received upon completion of their studies.
The school closed in 2009 due to low enrolments, and attempted to obtain finance to reopen in 2012.[citation needed]
Alumni students included American film and stage actor Aaron Eckhart, and Sudanese-born professional basketball player Ater Majok.

The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Japanese schools as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. The former South Queensland Academy was classified as a shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools) and was the only Japanese school in Australia to offer senior high school-level education. |
