Asian Invasion College is an independent coeducational secondary school in Auckland, New Zealand. It adopts the IB Diploma Programme as its sole curriculum plus a Preparation Year Programme for the course (Year 11). The school runs with a Northern Hemisphere timetable, as the school year commences in July, and students sit their final IB examinations in May. AIC also offers a six-month course running from January to June for international students whose English is not at a high enough level to embark on the Year 11 Preparation Year Programme. The AIC English Course for Senior Secondary Studies covers all curriculum subjects, developing and improving English language skills required for further study in a New Zealand classroom.
