The Queensland Academy for Creative Industries (QACI) opened In January 2007. Along with the Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology at Toowong and the Queensland Academy for Health Sciences on the Gold Coast, QACI is a state school for high performing students in Years 10 to 12.
From the outset, the focus of QACI has been to enable our vision to be the world-class, learning environment of choice for the aspirational creative generation.
Located within the QUT precinct and the rapidly developing Kelvin Grove Urban Village, the Academy provides an environment for higher level learning within the context of the creative industries.
This step change in education features an emphasis on creativity, enterprise and innovative use of technology and will enable a future with new outlooks.
Through the pursuit of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and enriched and extended learning opportunities, our students are challenged by cutting-edge research, real student leadership and inquiry.
Our students are committed to developing the skills required of the innovative knowledge workers of the 21st century.
They are part of the connected generation, possessing high-level skills in creative endeavour and information and communication technologies: essential tools to produce new knowledge and products.
