International Students
At Pulteney Grammar School, we recognise and celebrate cultural diversity and internationalism, welcoming students from all over the globe. International students enrich our school in many ways.
The School’s location in the Adelaide CBD provides an ideal environment for international students to study, discover and excel alongside local students.
Pulteney is within walking distance to Adelaide’s cultural and shopping precincts, the State Library, leading universities and other world-class facilities.
Pulteney Grammar School is registered to accept Overseas Students (CRICOS 00369M).
International student application and enrolment
Pulteney has limited availability for International Student applications.
Criteria for enrolment
Applications from International Students are assessed and considered on the basis of:
- the number of positions available at the appropriate year level.
- the resources of the School.
- the student’s academic records and English language proficiency level for the proposed course of study.
- English language proficiency is determined by the result of a test undertaken by an approved English Language Assessment organisation.
- Students must reside with one or both parents, a suitable relative, or a school-approved homestay for the duration of their visa.
English Proficiency
International students require an adequate command of English so that they can manage the work in mainstream classes.
A condition of enrolment is that a student undertakes a formal English Language Assessment upon application for admission to Pulteney. This can be carried out in their country of origin through the Australian Education Assessment Services (www.aeas.com.au) or another official English assessment organisation.
Students may be required to undertake intensive English language study prior to their entry to mainstream study. Pulteney will provide parents with details of schools able to offer this service.
