The International School of Western Australia is a leading co-educational, non-denominational, independent international school, with a global reach and outlook.
We offer a unique education experience to both local and international students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Close to the ocean and city, our modern campus is nestled amongst Perth's premium suburbs. An ISWA education encourages students to become global citizens, it's a place where inquiry and curiosity are central to our curriculum and opportunities to excel are realised. We inspire and challenge students to lead lives of purpose, to pursue excellence and to make a difference in the world.
With over 60 nationalities represented, the school community is home to both local and international families living in Perth. By exploring local, national and global issues within the classroom, students develop international-mindedness, strong values and a responsibility to be socially aware and take action in the communities they are part of. With families from around the corner and all over the world, a welcoming community is at the heart of our school. This culture of friendliness, inclusivity and warmth ensures everyone belongs.
A core mission of ISWA is to develop student understanding that other people, with their differences, can also be right. To this end, ISWA provides a non-denominational and co-educational learning environment. This richness and diversity of perspectives enable students to collaborate, exchange ideas and debate issues in a broader context.
ISWA is one of the select few schools in Australia to offer the academically rigorous learning pathway of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) for our senior students in Years 11 and 12. ISWA is consistently ranked as one of Australia's top schools for the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). Our students are performing above average in all year levels and subjects compared to the state, national and international averages. Given that for many of our students, English is their second language, the results are even more impressive.
