  • Full name is Victoria International School of Sharjah (VIS/VISS), also referred to as the Victorian International School which probably makes it sound like an antique (which it's not).
  • VIS established as a partnership between Government of Sharjah and the state of Victoria in Australia. An old press release said number of students was expected to be 3000.
  • Facilities include Sports Complex with indoor pool, multi-court basketball stadium, outdoor covered hard courts, amd sports field. Also a Performing Arts centre with a 500-seat auditorium, and a Technology and Innovation centre.
  • Grades K-9, possibly 10 from September 2007. Grades 10-12 and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) studies from September 2008, Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER) awarded on completion of certificate.
  • Not the same as Victoria English School in Sharjah. There are also other Victoria International Schools scattered around the world - Canada, India, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Japan, Hong Kong ... all unrelated to VISS.
