Boarding Schools NSW

Academic excellence

In terms of academic quality, these independent schools and selective government high schools have a reputation for being more challenging than some other schools. Often, they focus not only on classroom learning but also on experience-based learning, bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world.

These schools commonly have smaller class sizes to provide students with greater opportunities to interact with teachers and their fellow peers, and at the same time providing great support and encouragement.  These intimate learning environments allow for a higher chance of learning success through building confidence and an overall greater standard of quality education.

Extracurricular activities

Boarding schools are known to be academically more challenging than day schools, though academics are not for every child and boarding school is a great opportunity to pursue all of the child’s interests whilst being an enthusiastic member of the school community. It’s often said that boarders bring the spirit to a school and it’s for this reason so many boarders become involved in everything the boarding school has to offer. NSW boarding schools offer a wide range of opportunities for girls and boys to be more active, creative and reach their true potential.
