Curriculum
Junior School pupils undertake the International Baccalaureate Primary Years programme. The High School operates a core curriculum of English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and Physical education as well as various electives including languages.
In the Senior School, students work toward the Year 12 Certificate, a credential awarded to ACT secondary students on completion of their studies. Radford offers a range of courses leading to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), in addition to accredited courses for students not desiring to enter university. In 2011, more Radford students sought tertiary entrance than any other school in Canberra, with 93% of students receiving an ATAR. Radford has a record of academic success, with its Year 12 graduates achieving the highest median ATAR of all ACT schools in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
