I am proud to be the Principal of the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology, as it is one of the most successful and prestigious selective entry high schools in Australia.Our Academy aims to extend student learning by blurring the line between school and university.
Our core curriculum is the International Baccalaureate Diploma. This program encourages students to become global citizens and enables our graduates access to the world’s leading universities.
Our students are very committed to their studies and enjoy as range of extension experiences across all forms of the sciences, mathematics and technologies including astrophysics, molecular biology and robotics. We celebrate our diversity through a full range of activities including musical performances, language competitions, sporting events and opportunities for active volunteering. This allows our students to achieve a balance between their academic work and cultural opportunities.
Our school is one of the most successful and prestigious selective-entry state high schools in Australia.
We provide a valuable transition from senior school to university for highly capable students from Years 10 to 12.
Our exceptional academic standards encourage great endeavours and success in a wide range of activities.
From 2019, we will welcome Year 7 students to our learning community.
Our core curriculum is the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) for senior students, and
from 2019, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 11 to 16.
We offer a safe and welcoming environment with outstanding mentors and we educate our students to
have knowledge of and respect for diverse cultures.
Homestay* enables EQI students to truly experience Australia's famous lifestyle.
By living with an Australian host family international students become part of the local community and have a fantastic opportunity to practise their English in a safe and caring home environment. International students often develop lasting friendships with their homestay families.
Standard Homestay fees have been set and these are listed on the EQI program fees page.

* Students enrolled in Primary School must live with a parent or close relative as defined by the Australian Immigration Regulations.
EQI Holiday Adventure Programs are an exciting and safe way for International Students to travel and sightsee during school holidays.
There's an EQI adventure to suit every taste - from visiting city landmarks and riding camels on an unforgettable Australian 'outback' adventure, to exploring ancient rainforests and swimming with turtles off Queensland's pristine white sand beaches.
All EQI Holiday Adventures are fully guided and escorted by qualified Queensland Government teachers and staff to ensure student safety. These programs are open to international students enrolled in an EQI high school, and additional fees apply. To find out more visit the holiday programs page
