Established in 1924, Knox is one of Australia’s leading Uniting Church day and boarding schools for boys. Situated 25km from the Sydney CBD, Knox has close bus, rail and freeway links to the city and the country, as well as easy access to the airport.
Boarding at Knox is a unique blend of personal care and strong academic support. Our boarding staff live on the premises, and special staffing arrangements mean that supervision and support come from a small number of adults, so that consistency, trust and respect are established.
Whole of Life programmes provide courses in independent living, citizenship and social justice; cooking, etiquette, leadership, cultural visits and a full outdoor education programme specially tailored to boarders are all part of helping to develop the “whole boy” in a modern world.
Knox teaching staff tutor in the boarding house every week, at every age level, ensuring strong academic support for every boarder.
Boarders are accommodated in the ultra-modern, air-conditioned rooms of the Knox Boarding Centre or, for some of our senior students, single air-conditioned rooms in Gillespie Heritage House, complete with period features and a college-type atmosphere.
Just as they would at home, all boys work at their own desks, in a wireless-networked environment, and enjoy superb relaxation facilities.
Boarders enjoy the use of our extensive facilities, such as swimming pool, squash courts, gymnasium, as well as art, music and technology studios.
Boarding at Knox is a positive choice, and the start of lifelong friendships.
