We are a proudly independent school without religious affiliation, with a firm focus on the individual girl, and are unique in Australia for delivering the curriculum through the Dalton Plan.
This approach provides an academic framework within a nurturing and inclusive environment and helps girls develop into confident and compassionate young women with a strong sense of responsibility. On their educational journey, Ascham girls build resourcefulness and independence in their thinking, and will leave Ascham equipped and ready to achieve their full potential.
On behalf of the School, I invite you to explore our website and learn more about an Ascham education.
The Plan assists each girl in assuming responsibility for her own learning and engages student and teacher in an intellectual partnership. This way of learning stays with our girls beyond school, sustaining their tertiary studies and onward into their careers, whatever their abilities and aspirations.
Our extensive range of facilities, coupled with a rigorous academic program and unrivalled co-curricular activities allow every girl at Ascham to benefit, at whatever point she may be in her educational journey.
The wellbeing of our girls is of paramount importance to us: we provide a substantial Wellbeing Program through a school-wide supportive framework based on strong bonds and caring relationships.
