Go straight to the program you need

Six programs, K–12. Choose one to see year levels, what students study, entry requirements and how to apply.

How the programs fit together

Students who are still building English start in a preparation program that matches their level. When they finish it, they join regular John Paul College classes and carry on through primary and secondary school — all the way to a Year 12 graduation with a QCE and an ATAR, the rank Australian universities use to offer places.
