Private Schools on Sydney’s North Shore

For families moving to or within Sydney, school options are often one of the first things to research — and rightly so. Proximity to the right school, public transport accessibility and manageable travel times all play a role in deciding where to buy. As a general guide, while primary school children are often driven to school, a commute of no more than 45 minutes is ideal for high school students.

The Lower and Upper North Shore are well served by excellent government public schools, which contributes greatly to their enduring appeal with families. However, because there are significantly more public primary schools than public high schools in the area, private high schools are particularly sought after — and competition for places can be strong.

As specialists in the Lower and Upper North Shore, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to private schools in the area to help you make a well-informed decision about where to buy.
