OVERVIEW
The AEAS School Preparation Course Year 7 - 9 is designed to help students smoothly and confidently transition into English-medium schools in Australia and overseas, including New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, the USA, and international schools where English is the main language of instruction.
