Empowering young minds through progressive education and democratic principles, Currambena fosters confident, compassionate learners ready to thrive in a dynamic world.
Currambena is a democratic school on Cammeraygal land on the North Shore of Sydney that offers truly child-centred education for both pre- and primary school children. Established 55 years ago and based on strong research foundations, we have long been recognised as a leader in innovative educational thinking. At Currambena we deliver a holistic approach to learning, with the help of a flexible curriculum which focuses on developing a child’s skills for life as well as academic results.

Since 1969, Currambena has led the way in progressive education, nurturing young minds to become confident, creative thinkers. Here, learning is a boundless adventure, where children are encouraged to explore, question, and discover at their own pace. With our small class sizes and personalised approach, Currambena cultivates a nurturing environment where each child’s unique talents and interests are celebrated, fostering a lifelong love for exploration and discovery. Every child receives the attention they need to flourish academically and emotionally. Research shows that this kind of environment stimulates a long-term love of learning as well as a holistically developed and resilient child. Through our dynamic blend of stage-based learning and democratic principles, students emerge as empowered, self-assured individuals ready to embrace the challenges of tomorrow. Join our warm, inclusive community, and embark on a journey of lifelong learning and growth
