HIGH SCHOOL PREPARATION (CRICOS 111806E)

Based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the ECE high school preparation syllabus is broken into 7 levels. Each level has its own detailed curriculum, tailored to different levels of English proficiency and other educational requirements.

Before starting with ECE, new students are assessed to better understand their current capabilities and specific support needs. Based on this, they are then assigned to the appropriate class level, with new intakes each Monday.

Our high school preparation course terms span 10 weeks, with new students able to join at any point. All classes are English-only and cover everything from verbal and written language skills to Maths, Science and the humanities. Students also benefit from small, culturally diverse classes, regular excursions, weekly sports afternoons and classroom facilities that mirror their destination school.

The high school preparation program prepares students for Australian high schools by ensuring they have the English language skills and the social and cultural knowledge required to participate actively in Australian school life.

Understanding each student’s strengths and weaknesses helps us to plan a better study path for them. Before starting with ECE, each new student is assessed on their current language proficiency and any additional support required.

To help maximize academic performance, ECE carefully manages class sizes, allowing for optimal student support and interaction.

English-only classrooms help students develop their fluency and comprehension, moving them beyond English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This program also contains subject-specific content in key learning areas, and a focus on helping students achieve a high level of English.

To equip students with the tools they need to successfully navigate the Australian school environment, our teachers, who are NESA accredited, TESOL or CELTA certified, and have experience teaching at Sydney’s leading private schools, deliver a holistic high school preparation program which supports students to exceed the entry criteria for their destination school.
