Empowering Young Women to be Courageous, Constructive and Compassionate World Citizens

Abbotsleigh is an Anglican girls' school in Wahroonga, Sydney with a vibrant educational environment. Students participate in experiential learning programs such as outdoor education, applied learning and Service-Learning, offering students opportunities to explore new curriculum areas and build skills in leadership and decision making. Abbotsleigh girls grow to be critical and reflective thinkers with a set of values nurtured by our Christian foundation.

The beautifully restored Read House is a wonderful part of our boarding facilities. Read House and Lynton House are two stately old homes perfectly suited for Year 7 and 8 boarders, who flourish in the warmth of the home environment and then progress through the years to the state of the art Wheeldon House, dubbed by boarders ‘the resort in the bush’. History and tradition abounds in Abbotsleigh's buildings and in stories of the school, while students are empowered to embrace the diversity of the world and pursue both personal and academic excellence.

Integral to Abbotsleigh's vitality are our 170 boarders who contribute to the successful and happy mix that constitutes the School's spirit. Abbotsleigh is a boarding and day school: not a day school with boarders.

Both boarders’ and day girls’ annual HSC results are notable.  Abbotsleigh's HSC results have been outstanding - and as a result, the School was listed as the top independent school in NSW in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

Abbotsleigh recognises that education includes more than academic excellence, so seeks to focus on the whole girl, offering unparalleled opportunities to develop their gifts and talents as well as their character.
