FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is WACE?

    WACE (Western Australian Certificate of Education) is a globally respected, inquiry-based curriculum from the Government of Western Australia that builds real-world skills and prepares students for top universities worldwide.

  • How is WACE comparable to IB and IGCSE?

    WACE offers the academic rigor of IB and the flexibility of IGCSE, with the added advantage of being a government-certified curriculum from Australia. It emphasizes concept-based learning, real-world skills, and university readiness, and is aligned with both global standards and India’s NEP 2020. Unlike IB, it allows customized subject pathways, and unlike IGCSE, it provides a nationally accredited senior secondary certificate (ATAR) accepted by top universities worldwide.

  • How is WACE different from CBSE or ICSE?

    Unlike CBSE or ICSE, WACE is a concept-driven, skills-based curriculum that goes beyond memorization. It focuses on critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving. Designed to global standards and aligned with India’s NEP 2020, WACE prepares students not just for exams — but for success in top universities and future careers, both in India and abroad.

  • What subjects are offered under the WACE curriculum?

    The WACE curriculum provides a comprehensive selection of subjects across major academic disciplines, including: English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, The Arts, Technologies, Health and Physical Education, and Languages. This broad range ensures that students can pursue diverse academic interests while building a strong foundation for university and career pathways.

  • Can schools offering WACE include Indian history and regional language subjects?

    Yes. Schools offering WACE have the flexibility to teach the History of India as prescribed by NCERT or their respective State Board, alongside World History as outlined in the WACE curriculum. Additionally, schools may implement their state’s language policy, allowing students to study regional or national languages as part of the broader academic offering. This flexibility ensures cultural relevance while maintaining global academic standards.

  • How can my school become eligible and registered to offer the WACE program?

    Indian schools can offer WACE alongside existing national or international boards, provided they meet the necessary academic and infrastructural standards. Schools that already comply with CBSE equivalent regulations—including infrastructure, qualified faculty, and governance—are typically well-suited to qualify. To become a WACE-accredited school, the following steps are required: Ensure the school has adequate infrastructure; Obtain a valid No Objection Certificate (NOC) and fulfill state-level regulatory compliance; Submit a formal application to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA), Government of Western Australia; Upon successful review, the SCSA Board will issue an official accreditation certificate.
