BMGS Springwood

The Blue Mountains Grammar Junior School is an environment that nurtures intellectually curious children in their education journey.

Children are enabled to flourish in a supportive, intellectually rigorous and mutually respectful environment as we lay the foundations of character and capability so necessary in later life.

Our Springwood campus is situated on three hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds and surrounded by natural bushland. The campus provides students with a wonderful environment in which to learn, grow and play – and all just 15 minutes from Penrith.

At Blue Mountains Grammar Junior School, we focus on the foundations of character, capability and the essentials of literacy and numeracy and add to this a breadth and richness of experience that stimulates and motivates learners.

The best student-teacher ratio in the Blue Mountains Region

We grow great learners by intentionally nurturing courage, perseverance and the habit of reflection. Optimal class sizes allow for effective one on one education for all students, including those with specific needs. In fact, we have the best student-teacher ratio of all schools in the Blue Mountains which ensures your child receives the attention and support they need to flourish and achieve.

We equip all students with the capabilities necessary to engage with their learning, to think powerfully, to apply their creativity and to relate to others.

Finally, we equip our students with strong literacy and numeracy skills through best-practice programs that boost their academic progress.

We recognise that each student grows at their own pace and so we provide specialised programs, including individual support, for students who need further assistance and those in need of more challenges.

The results speak for themselves.
