The independent school in Dubbo will have 15 additional seats available in the new Year 7 class for a total of 20 students.
An information session will be held for interested parents on June 26 at 6.30pm in the Western Plains Cultural Centre’s community arts building.
“This school, dedicated to 21st century learning, will bring new opportunities and choice to students and families in Dubbo,” principal Mandi Randell said.
The academy is Accredited by the NSW Education Minister and New South Wales Education Standards Authority.
The curriculum focuses on problem solving, critical thinking and global-mindedness, with the aim of imbuing students with the skills necessary to succeed in a rapidly-changing, technical world.
All students learn coding, Mandarin, design thinking and philosophy among other critical thinking skills.
Beyond 2019, the academy will grow to include Years 8-12 and will offer the International Baccalaureate, a highly sought-after HSC-alternative that specialises in preparing students for a more global environment.
The IB is not offered anywhere else in the Central West. Visit www.theacademy.nsw.edu.au for more information.
