Australian Capital Territory private school sector — what to know

Canberra Grammar leads ACT independents academically with median ATAR consistently above 92. The ACT's small size means most graduates head interstate for university — high cross-state flow to USYD, UMelb + ANU dominates.

The ACT BSSS system uses a continuous-assessment model, with the ATAR derived from scaled course scores. Several ACT independents (Canberra Grammar, Radford) also offer IB Diploma.
