Situated on 20 hectares of beautiful park-like grounds on Sydney's upper North Shore, Pymble Ladies' College is a non-selective, independent school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 12, with boarding available in Year 7. Pymble is a school that inspires and excites students to explore and extend their potential as they grow from dependence to independence. The College offers a world-class learning environment that provides excellent academic studies, sports, and the arts, a comprehensive curriculum with outstanding facilities, and a nurturing pastoral care program that recognizes and develops each girl's unique strengths and qualities. Pymble fosters an international education environment, promoting global citizenship and the importance of a worldwide educational perspective. The College strives to ensure students complete their education with the confidence, maturity, and necessary skills to make informed decisions in their careers and personal lives. Pymble is divided into five separate schools on one campus. All five schools have their precincts, and the Head of School and Junior, Middle, Upper, and Senior also have their own Deputy Head of School. Five schools on the one campus provide more leadership opportunities and additional age-specific academic and personal care for each student. The values and the ethos of the Uniting Church in Australia provide the foundation for dynamic, engaged learning at Pymble, with the College open to girls of all religions.
