IB Curriculum International Schools in Brisbane, Australia

Brisbane’s IB schools form a mixed sector of state and independent campuses that commonly offer one or more IB programmes - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) and, in some places, the Career-related Programme - alongside Queensland curriculum pathways. Instruction is overwhelmingly in English, but most IB schools teach additional languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, French and Spanish and provide English-as-an-additional-language support where needed. Fees vary considerably by sector and campus: domestic independent school tuition in Brisbane commonly sits in a mid-range to high-range private-fee band, with separate, higher charges for international students and for boarding or specialty programs. Families should expect formal enrolment timelines and waitlists for major intakes (for example Prep, Year 5/7 and Year 11 at different schools), and to begin applications a year or more before their preferred start; Queensland term dates follow the state calendar and affect arrival planning and orientation.
