The early years spent at school are arguably the most important school years for the development of personality, intellect and character. In the early years habits and values are formed that will have a significant influence on later learning. Because of this, we consider every aspect of a boy’s development in an atmosphere of personal support, structure and clear boundaries. Academic excellence is sought, but so too are creative, artistic, musical and sporting achievements. Learning how to learn and apply knowledge is the focus of energies once mastery of prerequisites is in hand. All of this is done with an eye to developing a confident and happy personality and a recognition of the important role each boy plays in the community of learners at Mosman Prep.
We see the spiritual development of each boy as essential to a comprehensive and purposeful education. Boys are provided with a Christian education and encouraged to live out the essential Christian message in their every day lives.
Mosman Preparatory School has an outward-looking focus. Community based projects are a regular feature of school life for older boys. In every way we try to increase each child's awareness of the richness of the wider world outside the boundaries of the school and give them a strong sense that they can make a difference by their own actions. Most of our boys will go on to hold important roles in the community, so developing leadership skills and the ability to work cooperatively together are valued components of school life.
The curriculum of the School is approved by the NSW Board of Studies but is adapted for the needs of young boys. In terms of teaching practice as a staff we are constantly involved in reflecting on how best to motivate and engage young boys and teach to their point of need.
Boys from Kindergarten to Year 6 enjoy the benefits of additional staff with teaching assistants in each class from Early Entry to Year 4 supporting the academic program. Specialist Teachers take Art, Music, PE and Sports, ICT, Library, Christian Studies and Mandarin. For boys experiencing difficulty with their academic work, our Learning Support Program is a comprehensive one based on individual assessment and early intervention. For boys requiring extension several staff take specialist lessons for these boys. Specialist staff in Learning Support or in the Gifted and Talented Programs each have additional specialist qualifications.

Mosman Church of England Preparatory School is blessed to be closely connected with a number of outstanding Secondary Schools. These schools have historically provided placements for the transition of Mosman Prep boys to Year 7.

An invitation is extended to parents, to meet with the Headmaster to discuss Secondary School options, including opportunities to connect with the schools listed below. In some cases, a preferred entry placement and additional consideration for scholarships are possible.

Welcome to Mosman Church of England Preparatory School!
I would like to invite you to come with me, as we investigate together what makes this Preparatory Boys’ School unique and so special. Here boys can thrive and ‘stretch out’ during those critical early years of schooling.
I am Peter Grimes, proud father of three teenage sons, a passionate educator, avid reader, surfer and sportsman, and a keen amateur fisherman.
It is my privilege to serve as Headmaster of this outstanding place of learning.
For 23 years I have been dedicated to primary school boys’ education. These early critical formative years are an exciting time of learning and growth. They empower boys in the present and for the future.
At Mosman Prep we support young men to be and to achieve their best, through individual attention, abundant opportunity and a deep community spirit inspired by our motto, Non Nobis Solum – Not for Ourselves Alone.
With Christian faith as our foundation, we focus on developing and strengthening relationships, solid foundations of character, the pursuit of excellence and the determination to contribute to the lives of others.
We offer a wide range of rich learning experiences, an outstanding teacher to student ratio, including specialist teachers and extra support staff, and a strong partnership between the School and parents.Â
The School’s Outdoor Learning Centre in Terrey Hills is a wonderful space for the boys to connect with nature. There they learn and play through a rich integrated program within a unique and stimulating environment.Â
I invite you to visit our School. Come and experience for yourself the warmth of the school community and the engagement of the boys in their learning activities.
