Private Schools in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

For families moving to or within Sydney, the Eastern Suburbs offer an exceptional concentration of private schools. From Edgecliff to Rose Bay, the area is home to some of Sydney’s most respected independent and Catholic schools, including Cranbrook, Scots College, Ascham and Kincoppal–Rose Bay.

As with any Sydney property search involving school-age children, location relative to the right school is a key consideration. While primary school children are often driven, a commute of no more than 45 minutes is a sensible guide for high school students — and in the Eastern Suburbs, where traffic can be unpredictable, proximity and public transport options are worth factoring in early.

As specialist buyers’ agents with deep knowledge of the Eastern Suburbs, we’ve put together this guide to private schools in the area to help families make well-informed decisions about where to buy.
