The Victoria International School of Sharjah (VISS) was founded in 2007, the result of a strong, long term relationship between the governments of Sharjah and the State of Victoria in Australia. Both governments prioritise the learning and growth of all. His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah has great admiration for Australian (especially Victoria's) curriculum with its recent extensive enhancements, as well as the methods Australian teachers use to encourage children to learn and the way the State of Victoria designs schools for the 21st century - using flexible learning spaces and the latest technology. He has been pleased to be able to make this available to young people living in the UAE. VISS is to be a lighthouse school for improvements in Sharjah schools.
