ISWA offers Australian Advanced Level for the first time
ISWA gears students to not only obtain an Australian secondary educational qualification but also grooms them for their Australian journey.
Established with the vision of being a positive and creative learning community that embraces its history and prepares students for life, International School of Western Australia (ISWA) is a strategic business unit of IIHS that is founded on the core values of Respect, Effort, Service, Positivity, Excellence, Creativity and Teamwork.
At ISWA, students are prepared for their life in Australia through an exclusive Australian Cultural Orientation online course which is conducted free of cost upon the completion of registration. The course aims to orient them to the Australian culture in terms of living, studying and working.
ISWA offers the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) which is a two-year programme covering Year 11 and 12 where students sit for the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) examination at the end of Year 12. The base curriculum module includes English as an Additional Dialect or Language (EALD), exempting students from IELTS when they apply for their tertiary education which is an added advantage in terms of time and cost.
