Redlands School

What Redlands School does

Redlands School is an independent, not-for-profit, coeducational K-12 private school operating under the legal name "Redlands, Sydney Church of England Coeducational Grammar School." Founded in 1884 as the College for Girls in Milsons Point, it relocated to Cremorne on Sydney's Lower North Shore and now delivers a continuous Preschool (ages 3-5) through Year 12 program across four specialist learning environments: Preschool, Junior School (K-2), Junior School (Years 3-6), and Secondary School (Years 7-12). It complements its main campus with a wholly-owned High Country Campus in Jindabyne, used for experiential and outdoor education including the flagship Year 9 Moonbah Program.

The school's academic portfolio is anchored by the HSC and a 30+ year authorization as an International Baccalaureate World School, supplemented by programs such as Ignite Innovation, the Entrepreneurial Startup Bootcamp, and a Year 10 Commercialisation Challenge. It is a member of Round Square, providing global exchange opportunities. Co-curricular, community, and philanthropic infrastructure include the Voice Notes discussion series, a Means-tested Scholarship Endowment, the Redlands Parents and Friends Association, the Redlands Giving foundation, and an alumni network of 20,000+ across 50+ countries.

Redlands' business model is a recurring tuition-based subscription, with fees published on its website, distributed via a direct-to-consumer admissions funnel (online application, open mornings, virtual tours, prospectus requests). It is privately governed by its own Board and led by Principal Sean Corcoran; no parent company, PE, or VC ownership is indicated. The school's strategic posture is defined by a 30-Year Master Plan, a Scholarship Endowment growth target to 2036, and active international student enrolment as a secondary acquisition channel.
