What International School does

International School of Western Australia (ISWA) is a private, for-profit international school located in Doubleview, Perth, Western Australia, founded in 2005 and operating a single campus at 193 St Brigids Terrace. ISWA delivers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum — Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP) — across Kindergarten to Year 12, and is the only IB World School in Western Australia authorised to offer the complete continuum. The school serves a culturally diverse community of over 61 nationalities and supports approximately 51-100 staff.

ISWA's core educational product is delivered through the Toddle learning management system, enhanced with AI-powered features including personalised AI tutors, AI-assisted lesson planning trained on IB and West Australian SCSA standards, and student performance analytics. The Visible Wellbeing programme, based on Professor Lea Waters' S.E.A.R.C.H. framework, is integrated across all year levels. Supplementary offerings include a Global Alliance student exchange programme with partner schools in Thailand, the USA, and Namibia, Model United Nations participation, fine and performing arts, co-curricular activities, and a peer buddy programme.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition and enrollment fees, with fee structures varying by year level and scholarships available for eligible students. Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model is direct enrollment through the school's website, campus tours, and an online application portal (Digistorm), targeting both local Perth families and internationally-mobile expatriate families. Operational technology infrastructure is provided by Microsoft 365 (cloud productivity, two-step verification) and Compass (student information system).

Direct peers

• John XXIII College: Private Catholic K-12 college in Mt Claremont, Perth. Comparable independent day-school model targeting middle-to-upper income Perth families across the same metropolitan catchment as ISWA.
• St Hilda's Anglican School for Girls: Private Anglican K-12 girls' school in Mosman Park, Perth. Comparable fee structure, K-12 offering and aspirational family positioning within the same Perth premium-school market as ISWA.
• NIST International School (Bangkok): IB World School in Bangkok offering the full IB continuum and a comparable globally diverse community. Directly comparable on curriculum framework, family demographic and use of the Toddle platform, and ISWA's Global Alliance exchange partner.
• Aquinas College: Private Catholic K-12 college in Ringwood, Perth. Overlapping catchment and value proposition — academic rigour plus pastoral care — making it a direct alternative for Perth families considering ISWA.
• Christ Church Grammar School: Private Anglican boys' school (Pre-K to Year 12) in Claremont, Perth. Competes head-to-head with ISWA for Perth families willing to pay premium tuition for strong academic and co-curricular programs.
• Wesley College (Perth): Private Uniting Church K-12 day and boarding school in South Perth. Closest geographic and tier peer to ISWA: independent, fee-paying, full K-12 institution directly competing for Perth families seeking premium education.

Broad incumbents

• Cranbrook School: Large Sydney-based private K-12 boys' school with boarding, premium tuition and IB-aligned offerings. Sets the national benchmark for premium Australian independent schooling that ISWA's brand must compete against for relocating and interstate families.
• Haileybury: Very large Melbourne-based independent K-12 school that offers the IB Diploma alongside VCE. National brand and scale make it a benchmark aspirational competitor for Australian families comparing international curriculum options to ISWA.
• Methodist Ladies' College (Melbourne): Historic Melbourne private girls' K-12 school offering the IB Diploma. Relevant broader incumbent because it competes for Australian families prioritising IB outcomes and globally portable qualifications, similar to ISWA's value proposition.

Regional players

• International School Singapore: Established K-12 international school in Singapore serving a globally mobile student body. Regionally comparable in mission and curriculum (IB) but operates in a different geography, making it a reference point for ISWA's positioning in the broader Asia-Pacific international-school market.
