Curriculum edit
The primary school, years 1–6, uses a German immersion programme. The secondary school has two divisions: a German stream and an English stream; 85% of the secondary students are in the German stream. Students in the English stream, making up the remainder of the students, take German classes.[2]
Certain subjects are taught to all students in German, such as Year 8 Biology, while others are taught to all students in English, such as Year 8 Chemistry and Geography. Students from both streams take the same art and music classes.[2]
Operations edit
The school does not require its students to wear school uniforms. The tuition for the youngest students, as of 2014, is $10,000 Australian dollars. The tuition for students years 11 and 12, as of the same year, varies depending on the subjects chosen for the International Baccalaureate program. The highest possible annual tuition for a year 11 or 12 student is $20,000.[2]
