ABOUT IES COLLEGE
For over 20 years, IES College has successfully transitioned more than 10,000 students into their chosen undergraduate degrees at leading Australian universities. Building on the success of our university preparation programs, we have expanded our educational offerings to a senior high school program for Year 10, 11 and 12 students. In an environment where diversity and acceptance are embraced, the educational program will support, nurture and challenge students while preparing them for success in an increasingly complex world. IES College is dedicated to becoming one of Australia’s premier secular private schools.
Our History
Founded in 1999, IES initially offered a successful Foundation Year program for International students seeking to transition into tertiary studies in Australia. Through our partnership with the University of Queensland, IES successfully transitioned over 10, 000 students into undergraduate programs at UQ from 1999-2022. Over the years, IES recognised the global education landscape was changing, and in response, IES College was opened in 2021, focusing on providing enriching globally-minded education programs to students here at home.
Our Philosophy
At IES College, our students engage in critical analysis of their own learning journey. We inspire them to seek out the skills they require to understand their place in a diverse world. We are committed to empowering students so they, in turn, serve to empower others in their local and global communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to inspire students to be passionate and empowered learners, confidently developing their individual gifts to serve in a global world.

Student determined success
IES College is a secular, progressive school fostering a culture of self-actualisation, equity, and inclusion. With a no-uniform policy that allows students to express their individuality through their clothing choices, our community celebrates and encourages diversity of every kind. Respect is a core value at IES College and is embedded in all aspects of school life. Students are taught to respect themselves, their peers, and their environment, and these values are reinforced through the school curriculum, policies, and daily interactions. IES College is committed to creating a safe and supportive learning environment where every student can thrive.
Our Campus
Our state-of-the-art campus contains architecturally-designed, recently renovated classrooms and facilities, with all the resources they need to bring their learning to life. Located in Brisbane’s CBD, our vertical Spring Hill campus is a stone’s throw from the city centre, and our students reap the benefits, enjoying the freedom to take their academic endeavours to the real world while utilising the city’s resources to enhance their learning.
