IEC Online

Our Intensive English Centres (IEC) enable students to develop English language skills so that they transition to mainstream high school with confidence. Students in Years 7-11 who are outside Australia can apply to study with an Intensive English Centre online.

This initiative has been created to allow students to study at an IEC while waiting for Australian borders to reopen.

Applications are now open for students to commence IEC Online in Term 1 2022.

Program details

Teaching and learning

IEC Online will be taught by our Intensive English Centres. English will be taught through the core areas of the NSW curriculum by our qualified and experienced IEC teachers. Classes will be run through the Zoom videoconferencing platform.

Daily schedule 

Classes will be held Monday to Friday for four hours each day, plus rest breaks. Classes will start between 10:00am and 11:00am (AEDT) to allow for differences in timezones.

Progression
