Kinma is one of the most dynamic progressive schools in Australia. Bush environment, inspiring play-based curriculum, child-centred approach.
For 40 years Kinma has been leading the way in innovative holistic child-centred teaching and learning, centred around the key areas of relationships, respect, reflection, creativity and intellectual critical thinking.
Central to our approach are small multi-age class groups where children participate in self-directed and collaborative learning, while our teachers actively encourage and nurture the individuality of each child.
Our philosophy is underpinned by a strong set of core and guiding principles, which are intrinsically practiced in everything we do. (http://www.kinma.nsw.edu.au/about-kinma/philosophy/our-core-principles)
At Kinma, we believe in encouraging healthy learning environments. Kinma is non-competitive and our community chooses not to participate in the NAPLAN tests or provide graded reports. Instead, all children are individually assessed on their progress and abilities.
Non-denominational, co-educational and non-profit, Kinma is set on 5 acres of beautiful bushland in Terrey Hills. Kinma caters for children from preschool to year 6. We also operate a playgroup for 0-3 year olds. You are welcome to visit the school or book a school tour at any time - please visit our website for more information.
