AAYUSH KHOSLA

As a dedicated English teacher and Middle School Leader, I bring a record of driving student growth, innovation, and excellence through evidence-based practice and transformational leadership. With a global mindset and commitment to inclusive, student-centred learning, I am eager to contribute to the thriving, values-driven culture of the Australian International School Dubai. My approach is aligned with AIS’s core values of Respect, Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, and Collaboration.

I foster high-impact teaching and strong community partnerships that empower students to become confident, reflective global citizens. My passion lies in nurturing identity, voice, and agency through English, and I have demonstrated success in building positive school cultures, supporting staff, and leading key programs in wellbeing, curriculum, and middle years leadership. With extensive experience working with diverse learners, Aboriginal and EALD students, and delivering holistic educational experiences, I view AIS Dubai as the logical next step in my career journey—where I can contribute to and grow within a world-class international learning environment.
