Top 7 A Level Schools in Sydney (2025–2026 Ranking Guide)
Top 7 A Level Schools in Sydney
This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.
Sydney’s mainstream senior routes are the HSC and IB, but a small number of international and British-curriculum providers offer Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels or comparable British sixth form pathways. This guide focuses on those options and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.
How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)
Because A Level pathways are a niche in Sydney, helpful datapoints include:
- Whether the provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels or only selected subjects
- A*/A and A*/A/B rates where British A Levels are available
- Clarity around university destinations for British-route students
- The size and stability of the A Level cohort
- Accreditation with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel
