Penrith Christian School offers a dynamic and engaging Junior School environment for students in Kindergarten to Year 4. We believe it is critical that each child has the opportunity to maximise their potential in order to provide the key building blocks and the start that will underpin their success. The curriculum is a broad, integrated and robust program focusing on the development of the whole child as an enquirer – who is actively engaged, enquiring and developing life-long learning skills, both in and out of the classroom.
Penrith Christian School offers a dynamic, comprehensive and flexible Middle School curriculum developed for Years 5 to 8, driven and differentiated to meet the diverse and varied needs and learning styles of our students.

We offer a broad range of elective options and HSC subjects; including, Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses.
