ESF has a framework, ESF Levels of Adjustment (LOA), for identifying and documenting the adjustments and accommodations for students who require support for learning.
We use LOA 1 to 6 to describe the amount and type of support a student requires in order to access the curriculum. All ESF schools have at least LOA 2 support.

ESF has a Financial Assistance Scheme for families who experience financial hardship due to a sudden and unexpected change in circumstances. Financial assistance is not normally granted in the first year of admission. Information and application forms for the scheme are available from the ESF Centre.

At ESF Renaissance College, our through-school students are learning from Year 1 to Year 13 on one site, guided and encouraged by a team of experienced international educators. We offer all four of the IB programmes, and the student-centred learning model at the heart of the programmes aligns perfectly with our beliefs about the importance of guiding each and every student to be the best that they can be. The IB provides a fantastic philosophy and curriculum framework recognised worldwide, with our graduates going on to some of the best universities around the world.

Our teachers take the time to get to know every student in their care, because every child is unique and deserves to be fun, happy, engaged, and always learning. At Renaissance, parents are actively involved in their child’s education, as we believe ESF also stands for Every Single Family.
