“My fondest experience at Korowal has been observing the growth of the students into mindful, self-conscious individuals who are critical thinkers, contribute well in discussions and who have a strong creative streak.”

At Korowal, creativity and relationships are at the forefront of all that we do. We believe that learning should be an active and engaging process, where students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning and explore their passions.
At Korowal, we are dedicated to nurturing communication, creativity, and critical thinking. Our programs, including Inquiry-Based Learning, Oracy, Open Dialogue, and Restorative Practice, are designed to help students develop essential skills and personal attributes.
Nestled on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Mountains in the charming village of Hazelbrook, Korowal School’s campus is a place of natural beauty and historical significance.
At Korowal School, we believe in nurturing the whole child within their social and cultural environment. Our staff and teachers work in dynamic ways to create a learning atmosphere where students are encouraged to thrive, discover their own paths, and fully engage in their educational journey.
At Korowal, we recognise the importance of co-curricular activities in providing a well-rounded education. One afternoon each week is devoted to co-curricular activities, offering students the chance to explore new interests, develop new skills, and make social connections with peers who share similar passions.
Korowal School in the Blue Mountains is renowned both locally and internationally for its holistic and progressive academic program. We place the needs and abilities of each child at the heart of our teaching and learning approach, ensuring that every student is supported and challenged to reach their full potential.
