Child-centred, independent education from

Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6

Quintilian School is an independent, co-educational and non-religious school in the heart of Mt Claremont, that has been serving the needs of students and parents since 1975.

The Quintilian Way fosters curiosity and problem solving through a holistic, integrated curriculum. Our inquiry-based learning approach guides and encourages students to explore, investigate and solve problems through asking questions and conducting research, prioritising student-led learning and critical thinking over direct instruction and “pre-packaged” information.

Our goal is to:

Academic excellence is pursued, but equally, emotional wellbeing, social skills, physical health and the arts are of vital importance.

By creating an environment that supports exploration, inquiry and meaningful learning experiences, we equip our students with the tools they need to prepare for secondary schooling and their place in society.
