The King’s School has a long and respected record of academic excellence. In striving for excellence, however, students are encouraged to think more about who they want to be rather than what they want to do and how they can contribute to the betterment of humanity.
This approach supports students to continually develop this mindset, focusing on the application of rigour and discipline in academic pursuit while balancing this with social, emotional and intellectual well-being.
The King’s School is currently a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). From 2025, Year 11 and Year 12 students will have the option of following one of three pathways - Industry Pathway (VET), National/State University Pathway (HSC), or Global University Pathway (IBDP).
Multiple pathways will ensure all Kingsmen, regardless of interests and abilities, will leave school with relevant and valuable credentials to secure future study and career opportunities.
