It delivers the NSW curriculum for Years 7–10 through the NSW Education Standards Authority, with the IB Middle Years Programme layered over these guidelines. Core subjects include English, Mathematics, Science, History and Social Science, Technology and Applied Studies, Languages Other Than English, Creative Arts and Personal Development, Health and Physical Education. A School Mandated Compulsory Course is Christian Development.

The two high-rise CBD campuses adjacent to St Andrew's Cathedral use the Chapter House for assemblies and performing arts. Facilities include the TAS Design Centre with labs and 3D printers, a library system across three sites, and Kirrikee Outdoor Education Centre. The school hosts more than 30 ensembles, choristers and a robust performing arts program, and is an IB World School.
