INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS
Armidale has been home to three of the most
prestigious independent day and boarding schools in
Australia since 1887. Outstanding academic results
reflect the highly motivated learning environment
offered by these schools.
The academic program provides for individual acceleration or remediation to ensure that each student is provided with the opportunity to achieve. Underpinning the academic emphasis is a strong IT focus offering a 1:1 Laptop program.
The education of the "whole" student has been a key feature and strength of The Armidale School throughout its history. We remain committed to a broad, liberal education that focuses on individual development promoting self-esteem and confidence to tackle new challenges.
Whether it be creative arts, sport, service or adventure activities, traineeships or international exchange, it is the business of the school to help find and support each boy's involvement in worthwhile and personally important endeavours.
The boarding environment reinforces our belief in the importance of the secure family unit by creating a home away from home. TAS continues to regard the boarding experience as an educational and social advantage where students learn independence, responsibility and consideration for others as well as developing a strong spirit. For further information please contact the Registrar.
Sitting on the northern edge of Armidale, PLC Armidale is set amongst beautiful gardens with sweeping views over the town. The school prides itself on its academic excellence and also for the quality of its graduates - confident, caring and connected students, whose talents are nurtured in the warm, family atmosphere of the school.
The best thing about our school? The students love coming here. School Tours and Experience Days offered to day and boarding students give a wonderful insight into what PLC Armidale has to offer. For further information please contact the Director of Admissions.
Today, our day students outnumber residents but NEGS remains one of the largest girls' residential education communities in the Southern Hemisphere. Situated on 50 hectares of parkland, our campus boasts modern facilities, bedroom accommodation (no dormitories) with wireless broadband access, beautiful heritage-listed buildings and on-campus Equestrian Centre.
We offer accelerated learning and gifted and talented programs, while our close links with the University of New England gives our high flyers the opportunity of studying university units in Year 12. We have diverse music and performing arts programs and our Student Services Centre attends to the individual needs of students. An education at NEGS really is the experience of a lifetime.
