Primary School
The EQI Primary School program is for students who want to come to Queensland to study in Year 4, 5, 6 and Year 7.
Students participate in the Queensland Primary School curriculum, which is taught by world-class teachers in small classroom groups. EQI Primary Schools encourage a global perspective and promote a safe and friendly learning environment for all students. EQI Primary School students who are from a non-English speaking background also receive quality ESL support, delivered by specialist ESL teachers.
