my kids went there for 2 yrs 2013 + 2015. The school has no support for kids needing extra support be they learning difficulties or mental health. Some of the teachers would be better suited teaching in local schools. Having said that though many of them try their best. Although it is called an International school the standards aren't that high. I wasn't left with a great impression of the school and many other parents felt the same way. I was advised before we went by my kids principal in Aus not to let my kids do Yrs 11&12 there.

I did not attend the international school. My family arrived in Fiji in 2002 and I departed Fiji in 2005.

My comment is for bob who made a point of the education in Fiji being sub optimal.

I attended a local school. It was the most humbling, exciting time of my life. The quality of science and maths was above what I had experienced in Australia. The level of English was poorer but not terrible.


I completed Form 4 through to 7 in Fiji. (Year 9 to 12). In 2006 I enrolled at The University of Sydney and I subsequently have obtained a Bachelors, a Post Grad Cert and a masters from there. I'm now a health professional.

I have a plethora of friends who attended the local school with me.

They are now doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, accountants, pilots and engineers. I can't say the same for my friends who attended international. I think the highest achieving that I know of got a Bachelor of Science in the
U.S. somewhere.

Some of the local schools are fantastic. If international doesn't provide additional assistance you could always consider getting them tuition from a local school teacher. I had some tutoring in Maths to catch me up when I first moved and it was fantastic.
Good luck
