Since 1877 Tintern Schools has been providing an exceptional education for all its students. Students benefit from The Tintern Model of Parallel Learning with single-sex learning for boys and girls from Prep to Year 9 and co-educational learning opportunities in our Senior College. This unique model of learning offers students the best of both educational worlds. At Tintern Schools we find a distinct path for every girl and every boy. As part of this, Tintern is: ?
