International Schools in Perth, Australia

Perth’s international-school sector is a mix of CRICOS-registered independent schools that offer International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) pathways alongside more common Australian-curriculum offerings, with some schools also providing Advanced Placement subjects for senior years. Languages taught across Perth schools commonly include Mandarin, Indonesian, Japanese and European languages such as French and Italian, and many schools offer dedicated English-as-an-additional-language support. Tuition for overseas students in Western Australian government schools is published at roughly A$14,600 - A$19,000 a year by year level, while independent international/day schools in Perth typically charge substantially more for senior years and boarding - total annual costs (tuition plus boarding and living) can be several tens of thousands of dollars and vary widely by school. Families should plan around the Western Australian school calendar (terms beginning in late January/early February) and the international-student enrolment process that requires a CRICOS offer, a Confirmation of Enrolment and a student visa (subclass 500).
