Penrith Christian School offers a nurturing and enriching Early Childhood environment for students in Preschool and Preparatory School. We provide the best opportunity for children to begin their school experience in a positive and safe environment, whilst challenging them to grow and learn.

Our Preparatory School caters to children who have turned four by 30th April in the year of commencement.
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. One of the great advantages of education at Penrith Christian School is the seamless progression from Preschool to Year 12. This is enhanced by our Middle School program progressively accessing specialist areas, specialised teachers and innovative programs.
Senior School caters for students in Years 9 to 12 and offers many opportunities for students to be challenged and developed personally and academically. We offer a broad range of elective options and HSC subjects; including, Vocational Education and Training (VET) Courses. Our Trade Training Centre offers a variety of VET Courses up to Certificate III level; and, provides real-world options and industry connections for our students to obtain relevant, industry-specific training whilst completing their Higher School Certificate (HSC).
