Wycliffe enjoys a fine heritage in Christian education. Nestled amidst natural bush land in the Lower Blue Mountains, the school provides a wonderful setting for Preschool to Year 12 education.
Wycliffe is an independent, non-denominational, Christian school. The School recognises the vital role of parents to the educative process, and prides itself on the strength of its partnership with home.
Quality and engaging education delivered through a distinctly Christian worldview provides a firm basis for students as they navigate life. Teaching sparks intellectual curiosity, develops critical thinking skills, and promotes creativity, through a collaborative and inspiring learning environment.
Learning occurs through a nurturing environment that provides support and encouragement to students from early childhood, through the turbulence of adolescence, into young adulthood. Students learn to assess their relationships, their values, their choices and behaviour against the Biblical worldview.
Wycliffe encourages students to take seriously the claims of Christ, celebrating His lordship over all life. Further, the School desires to unleash the God given potential in all students, equipping them as agents of change for the future.
