Academy school education programs

Academy school education programs The Australian Academy of Science recognises high quality education for all Australians as a cornerstone of Australia’s democratic society and a key driver of national prosperity.

Our comprehensively planned programs are grounded in research and showcase exemplary inquiry practices which support teachers to maximise the difference they make in the classroom.

Through offering our teacher-trialled programs with proven outcomes spanning science and mathematics in Australian schools from Foundation to Year 10, the Academy supports a strong foundation in STEM teaching and learning in Australia. Our programs are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and remain free of charge for Australian teachers.

To ensure resources are useful, practical and connected to what’s happening in schools across the country, development and customisation is done in consultation with teachers, state and territory education departments, as well as national agencies such as Education Services Australia and the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority.
