The Apple International School, established in 1994, places a high value on creating an ideal atmosphere for nurturing the talents and catering to the educational needs and developing the overall personality of the children coming under the shade of the Apple campus. It is the school's aspiration that during their time with the school, every individual student makes a positive difference – a difference to their lives and a difference to the lives of the others.

AIS teaches not for school, but for life. AIS will work towards a school where:
- Everyone is physically and emotionally safe.
- Students develop self-esteem, confidence, creative expression and individual talents.
- Students take responsibility for their own actions and be lifelong self-directed learners.
- Students communicate effectively, work co-operatively as team players and show respect towards themselves, others and celebrate differences.

The school’s curriculum is designed keeping in mind the multicultural mix of the student community and their individual learning needs. Based on the National curriculum pattern it aims to ensure that excellence is pursued, that lessons are challenging and have pace and direction to promote the skills essential for all round development of each child.

As the students move to the upper classes, the day becomes more structured. The full range of National Curriculum subjects is taught and greater specialization is introduced. Progress is carefully monitored through assessments and examinations. Individual strengths of students are identified to motivate optimal use of their potential. They are encouraged to discover new horizons of excellence and also enjoy the experience.

Apple- ites are encouraged to discover new areas of excellence and to enjoy the experience! In addition to their academic achievements, it is the school's aim that they should leave AIS equipped with the skills that will enable them to succeed in an ever- changing world.
