Types of schools in Australia

Usually children between the ages of 6 and 15 are required to attend school in Australia, after which many of them enrol in a university or college for further studies. Let’s look at the types of schools in Australia:

• Primary school: This requires students to be admitted by the age of six. Students start out in Grade Prep and move on to Grade One, Grade Two and so forth until Grade Six.
• Middle school: This bridges the primary and secondary school years. Students from Grade Five or Six to around Year 10 are a part of the middle school.
• Secondary school: This is also known as “high school.” Students must attend every weekday until they graduate in their final year at around 18 years of age.

Australia has a mix of private and public schools. There is a range of boarding schools at primary and secondary levels in the private school sector. If you are looking for private schools near you, why not look at our website for schools in your area?
