Our Curriculum and Striving for Top Academic Results

Years 1–6

Our primary school students follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) which focuses on sparking curiosity, collaboration and development of critical thinking from an early age.

Years 7–10

Students undertake the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), building on the foundations laid by PYP and enabling them to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world, whilst preparing them for the challenges of a senior curriculum.

QMC promotes multilingualism and at least one addition language to English is compulsory – French, Te Reo Māori, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese.

Years 11–13

All students undertake Level 1 of New Zealand’s National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA), in Year 11. During this year, students and their families choose whether they continue with NCEA Levels 2 and 3, or commence the two-year IB Diploma.
