About Barrenjoey Montessori School

Barrenjoey Montessori School is an independent not-for-profit school established in 1985 by a group of parents dedicated to creating Montessori education opportunities on Sydney’s upper Northern Beaches.

Commencing with a single preschool class in Newport, the school has grown to cater for the education of children from 0–12 years across three campuses.

Our Campuses

  • Tasman Rd Campus

    Tucked behind the sand dunes of Avalon Beach on the Des Creagh Reserve, our Tasman Rd campus is home to both primary and preschool students. The school relocated from Newport to the purpose-built Avalon site in 1990, with growing demand and a strong interest in Montessori primary education leading to the addition of a lower primary (Cycle 2) classroom and a second preschool (Cycle 1) classroom in 2010. In 2017, the construction of a new sustainable classroom created space for an upper primary (Cycle 3) class. Barrenjoey Montessori School’s Tasman Rd campus now offers education from preschool through to Year 6.

  • Newport Campus

    Our Under 3s playgroup operates at Eurobodalla Homes Hall in Newport during school terms (Monday–Wednesday). The light-filled open space and covered veranda offer ample room for indoor and outdoor activities.
