About Ravenswood School for Girls

On Sydney’s upper north shore, Ravenswood School for Girls sits in Gordon, where the daily rhythm is shaped by suburban streets, rail access and the bushland character of the Ku-ring-gai area. It is a girls’ school rather than a typical tertiary campus, so study is closely tied to school life, routines and pastoral support. The setting will suit families seeking a quieter base than inner-city Sydney while remaining connected to the city.

Ravenswood is an independent Anglican school for girls, with teaching across primary and secondary years. Its senior school includes the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme alongside the New South Wales Higher School Certificate, giving families a choice between two established senior secondary routes. The school is known for an academically focused environment, with co-curricular life forming a substantial part of the experience.

For international families, it is best suited to girls looking for a full school education in a single-sex setting, rather than a short vocational or university-style programme. Boarding is part of Ravenswood’s model, which can make the school a practical option for those living outside Sydney or arriving from overseas. Gordon’s residential setting may feel less suited to someone wanting the independence and city-centre pace associated with a university campus.
