VCE Programs in China and other countries

The International Projects Unit of VCAA coordinates delivery of VCE Programs, Victorian curriculum and professional development for teachers and educators within Australia as well as in other countries.

The VCAA model requires an offshore school to form a partnership with a well regarded Victorian school to create educational links. The teachers of both schools ensure that the course being delivered offshore is equivalent to the course delivered in the Victorian partner school.

The VCE program in China offers a range of benefits:

  • Students in China are able to study the VCE without leaving their home country.
  • Students have the opportunity to be exposed to Victorian teaching and assessment practice.
  • The VCE program has several layers of quality assurance to ensure the integrity of the qualification for all students who study for the certificate.
  • An internationally recognised senior secondary qualification.

The VCE is currently taught at six schools in China, under licence from the VCAA:

  • TEDA International School, Tianjin, China (since February 2003)
  • Li Hui Li High School, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province (since January 2005)
  • Qingdao Number 19 High School, Shandong Province (since January 2006)
  • Nanjing Foreign Language School Xianlin Campus (since January 2006)
  • Shude High School, Chengdu, Shichuan Province (since January 2006)
  • Wuhan Foreign Language School, Wuhan, Hubei Province (since January 2007)

The VCE is currently taught in the South Pacific.
