Perth Modern School provides a challenging, guided learning environment in which students are encouraged to reach their potential across the range of scholastic, sporting and cultural activities offered. The school’s program embraces the international curricula, with Mandarin, French and Spanish options available, allowing students to prepare for life in a global context. Another excellent international and bilingual school option for Perth is John Curtin College of the Arts. Established in 1975, the college has become one of the premier secondary schools in Australia. It provides a creative, challenging and inspiring learning environment, where students can pursue the range of courses on offer in the arts and Sciences, including Spanish and French language courses. With an emphasis on international study, John Curtin College of the Arts offers an incredibly diverse curriculum and has numerous international programs in place, such as a long-running exchange between the college and partner institutions in Japan and France," commented one expat when asked about in Perth, Australia.
