We are dedicated to empowering Highly Capable Learners in a collaborative, supportive educational environment to realise their potential through a world class curriculum and facilities. As lifelong learners and members of a global community we value the International Baccalaureate learner profile.

Queensland Academies Highly Capable and/or Gifted Learners

Queensland Academies recognises that all of our students are highly capable. Our learners are students who have high levels of natural abilities with a record of strong academic performance who are motivated to learn. We focus on using inquiry, action and reflection to develop natural curiosity in our students to ensure they are optimally engaged and challenged.

The pillars that underpin Queensland Academies as a unique learning environment inform how we nurture our Highly Capable and/or Gifted Learners.
