About Us

Proudly IBDP only

Westbourne fully equips students with the essential attributes to become future leaders; a powerful blend of skills, knowledge, confidence and character, propelling graduates on remarkable career paths across the globe. The foundation of the Westbourne approach is the IB Diploma Programme – acclaimed across the world for the unrivalled opportunities it grants its students.

Internationally recognised as the ‘gold standard’ in secondary education, Westbourne is proudly an IB only College, offering the IB Diploma Programme in Years 11 & 12 and the Pre-IB Programme in Year 10.

Westbourne College Sydney has rapidly ascended to become one of the foremost academic institutions in the city. The inaugural cohort achieved remarkable IB Diploma results, propelling the college to the coveted #1 position in Australia for the highest percentage of students attaining an impressive 44+ IB Points.

Our 2023 cohort continued this by becoming 1st in Australia for the number of students achieving the full 45 points, and the highest percentage of students achieving 40+ points (46%).

Westbourne has earned a reputation for excellence on a worldwide scale, as we continue to expand our schools across the globe. We nurture globally-minded, well-rounded, articulate young scholars who progress to the best universities in the world – 90% Go8, Russell Group or international equivalent entry – supported by outstanding academic credentials in the IB Diploma.

STEM-Centric

Central to our mission is a steadfast commitment to excellence in STEM education. The demand for STEM graduates is on the rise, with the STEM job market expanding twice as fast as other occupations. This trend extends to the university level, where more and more admissions tutors at the most elite institutions seek candidates with strong STEM skills across a diverse range of degree subjects.

Through Westbourne College Sydney’s dedicated focus on STEM education, our students gain a globally relevant and career-accelerating skillset. Our international links offer unparalleled opportunities for wider cultural and academic enrichment.

A bespoke, tailored approach

Community is at the very heart of Westbourne. We are proud to be a friendly, approachable, globally minded college with an unshakeable sense of community and collaboration.

Treating students as young adults from day one, with business attire in place of uniform and first name terms with peers and teachers alike, every pupil is treated as an individual, supported one-to-one to achieve their personal and academic best.

Our smaller school, personalised approach ensures that students get the most out of their education, and that the curriculum is as relevant and exciting as possible, inspiring them to reach their goals. We are resolutely committed to the wellbeing of all of our students at all stages of their learning journey, ensuring that school is a happy place where they can thrive.

Expanding global network

Further increasing our students global network and exchange opportunities is the 2023 launch of Westbourne College Singapore. This expansion brings with it a comprehensive global learning support system meticulously designed to empower Singapore’s ambitious students with a particular focus on STEM and Business. From virtual tutorials, seminars and workshops, to immersive international trips, our students benefit from the very best opportunities to build meaningful connections with like-minded peers from across the world.

Through this tailored approach, Westbourne College Singapore aims to unlock the full potential of its students and cultivate a new generation of high achievers.
