The School

Knox accepts dayboys and boarders from a wide range of backgrounds from around Australia and overseas, offering each boy diverse opportunities to find and develop their talents.
Knox aims for every boy to achieve their maximum academic potential whether through our da Vinci program for gifted students, or in the mainstream classes. Students are also encouraged to excel on the sports field, in cultural and other co-curricular activities and to be challenged by spiritual and social justice programs. It is through all these that Knox boys achieve development of personal character.
The School's vision is expressed in strategic plan, which is based on the premise that excellence comes when each boy achieves his best in both the curricular and co-curricular environments. The School believes this goal can best be realised within a supportive and stimulating educational environment that includes state-of-the-art education facilities and resources.
The school follows the NSW Board of Studies curriculum in Years 7-12, including the School Certificate at the end of Year 10 and a Higher School Certificate at the end of Year 12.
All students in Years 7-12 receive an Application Point Average (APA) twice.
