School-based Masteries...
By far the most common Masteries, and the ones that most people know about, are the School-Based Masteries.
Definition of a School-based mastery at Kooralbyn: The school offers the mastery program directly to its high school students. The school covers all supervision, training/coaching/mentoring, transport, facilities, consumables and assessment and reporting associated with the mastery. Each semester, the school will report on the student's progress in the mastery within the school's normal end of term school report. (Similar to a vocational style report however, the Mastery report will only consist of a general explanation of work covered, a report on the student's effort and a 'Met Requirements' or 'Did Not Meet Requirements' statement.)
Costs of school-based mastery programs: For local students (families who are Australian citizens or residents) the cost of school-based masteries is incorporated into the standard school fees for high school students (please refer to the School Fees and charges for either Local Residents or Non-Local Residents).
For International students, there ARE specific fees and charges associated with school-based masteries, please refer to the school's International Fees and Charges.
