International Programs offered

Glenunga offers two fee paying International Programs to students with a Subclass 500 Visa: the Intensive Secondary English Course (ISEC) and the High School Graduate Program.

Intensive Secondary English Course (ISEC)

The ISEC is designed to assist students who need to develop their English language proficiency. The program provides knowledge of the Australian environment and lifestyle and introductory courses to familiarise International Students with schooling in Australia. Students complete one semester of ISEC before entering the High School Graduate Program in Year 10.

High School Graduate Program

The High School Graduate Program provides students with the opportunity to pursue their individual academic interests and ambitions, gain a world class education and aim to graduate with a South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) or International Baccalaureate Diploma.

International Students can begin the High School Graduate Program after completing the Intensive Secondary English Course (ISEC) and can select from a range of subject choices found in our Curriculum Guide.
