Best IB Schools in Sydney for International Families

A 160-year-old Uniting Church independent school in Stanmore, Sydney, offering a dual senior pathway — the NSW HSC and the IB Diploma Programme (an IB World School since 2007), with additional Cambridge International accreditation. Historically a boys' school with boarding, it is mid-way through a staged transition to full co-education by 2033. One of the genuine IB-offering options in Sydney, useful for expat families who want an internationally portable Diploma alongside a strong local HSC track.

A co-educational Anglican K–12 day school in Cremorne on Sydney's Lower North Shore that genuinely offers a dual senior pathway — students choose between the NSW HSC and the full IB Diploma in Years 11–12, and the school has run the IB continuously since 1988, the longest of any school in NSW. That authentic IB-or-HSC choice, rare among Sydney independents, fits internationally-mobile families wanting a globally portable qualification without leaving the local system. It is a day school only — no boarding.

A co-educational Anglican K–12 day school in the heart of Sydney's CBD that offers genuine curriculum choice at senior level — students choose between the NSW HSC and the full IB Diploma Programme — with the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) framing Years 7–10. That dual HSC/IBDP senior pathway, plus an MYP middle school, fits internationally-mobile families who want an IB-recognised credential without leaving a high-performing Australian school. It is a day-only, vertical city campus — no boarding.
