High School (Graduate Program)

The High School Graduate program is for students from Year 8 to Year 12 who want to come to Queensland to complete their high school education.

Students study the Queensland curriculum, and those who graduate from Years 11 and 12 receive the Queensland Certificate of Education, awarded by the QSA. This is an internationally recognised qualification, which means EQI High School's are an effective pathway for international students who are seeking to continue on to tertiary education in Queensland.
