International Student Entry Requirements
Most overseas students require English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) before commencing their studies in an Australian school. There are several reputable language colleges on the Gold Coast that we are happy to recommend for school-aged students.
Ongoing English Support
After students have reached the necessary competency in the English language to be integrated into mainstream classes, King’s Christian College continues to support with the English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D) program. This program provides individual attention for international students.
