Our school criteria

All schools planning to offer the SACE must demonstrate their eligibility to do so as part of the accreditation process. 

We know that SACE schools come in many forms.  What our schools all share is a commitment to delivering the best possible education for their students. In becoming an accredited SACE school, we see whether you align and meet our quality standards in five key areas. You can find out more about what we look for below. 

The school's mission and educational values 

We require that: 

1. The school has a clear mission statement that makes reference to its educational values. 
2. The culture of the school is learner-centred and supports students and teachers to become confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged. 
3. International awareness and global perspectives are promoted through the curriculum and other activities. 
4. Relationships between staff and students are positive, demonstrate mutual respect, and the school has established and consistent expectations of behaviour.
