International Schools in Brisbane, Australia

Brisbane’s international schools sit alongside the state system and range from CRICOS-registered private colleges to state selective academies that offer internationally recognised programmes; several schools in the city teach one or more International Baccalaureate programmes alongside Queensland/Australian senior pathways. Many schools emphasise languages and English-as-an-additional-language support, with Mandarin, Japanese, French, German and Spanish commonly available across programmes and IB subject lists. Annual tuition for international or fee-paying places varies widely by age and whether boarding or extensive co-curricular programmes are included, with published schedules showing day-school fees at lower year levels and substantially higher charges for senior years or boarding places. Admissions usually follow the Australian school calendar (main intake at the start of the school year in late January/Term 1, with smaller mid-year intakes); families moving from overseas should allow extra time for CRICOS enrolment paperwork, a Confirmation of Enrolment and the Overseas Student Health Cover required for visas.
