IB Curriculum International Schools in Sydney, Australia

IB-curriculum international schools in Sydney typically offer one or more IB programmes across the age range - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) - either as a full IB continuum or combined with the New South Wales curriculum. Families can expect instruction primarily in English with strong second-language programmes (commonly Mandarin, French, Japanese and other European or Asian languages) and additional English support for students whose first language is not English. Fees are wide-ranging but most international-style independent schools in Sydney publish annual tuition in the mid-to-upper tens of thousands of Australian dollars, with typical published tuition clustered roughly between A$16,000 and A$45,000 a year; public schools also accept temporary visa holders on a different, lower fee schedule. Admissions are usually tied to the NSW school calendar (four terms, school year starting late January) and many schools recommend applying several months before your intended start date because popular entry years and language-support places can fill early.
