Australian Curriculum International Schools in Sydney, Australia

Australian-Curriculum international schools in Sydney teach to the national Australian Curriculum framework while operating in New South Wales, where syllabuses and senior qualifications are aligned and regulated through the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). Instruction is primarily in English, but many schools offer additional languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, Indonesian and French from the early years into secondary. Published tuition for international-style schools in Sydney varies widely - many schools publish typical annual fees in the mid-five-figure range (A$16,000 - A$45,000 is a common published band), and costs can be much lower for international placements in public schools or substantially higher at some independents; expect extra levies and charges on top of base tuition. The main intake follows the NSW school year (term-1 start in late January/early February), so families usually apply several months ahead and should check whether a school is CRICOS-registered (if a student visa is required) and what translated school reports, immunisation records and English-language assessment results the school asks for.
