At Gleeson College, all Stage 1 students study the equivalent of seven full year subjects (or 14 semester subjects). This is 140 credits towards the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). Stage 1 students must study:

At Gleeson College, Stage 2 students study the equivalent of four full year subjects. Together with Religion Studies, this means a total of 90 credits towards their SACE. The Research Project worth 10 credits may be studied at Stage 2 level, if not previously completed in Stage 1.

It is possible for a senior student in certain circumstances to select one subject offered at one of the other schools on the campus. This would be negotiated, for example, if a difficult combination of subjects did not meet the Gleeson line structure and it demonstrates one of the advantages of a shared campus.

N.B. The subjects listed for Stage 1 and Stage 2 are offered to students - whether they proceed depends upon sufficient numbers choosing them.
