About
About this ranking
We list every Australian private school we've verified for the 2026 academic year. There are no paid placements, no "premium" tiers, no advertorial inserts. Every fee linked back to the school's own published 2026 schedule.
How we sort
Default sort is by ICSEA (Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage) descending — the closest thing to a one-number "school quality" indicator that exists in Australia, published by ACARA. Higher ICSEA = a more advantaged student community on average. It is NOT the same as academic outcomes — a high-ICSEA school has stronger raw VCE/HSC/QCE results because the cohort is more advantaged, not necessarily because the school adds more value. Use the calculator to project total cost across Year 7–12 or Year 11–12, and compare schools head-to-head.
What's not here
Catholic systemic schools (Diocesan parish primary + secondary colleges, $5–10k tuition) are not individually listed. Public selective schools (James Ruse, Melbourne High, Mac.Rob, Brisbane State High, Perth Modern) are also excluded — selective state schools deserve their own ranking framework. Both are great options for many families.
Why we publish what we do
The vast majority of "private school ranking" sites hide their data behind sign-up walls or refuse to publish fees at all. We disagree. The five things parents actually need to choose a private school are fees, ICSEA, religion, gender, boarding — all five are above. Read our full methodology.
