As a community of learners, Kilvington strives to provide inspirational, rigorous learning experiences in a challenging, cohesive environment where each girl’s social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical development can thrive.

In essence, we do this by staying abreast of the latest educational research; consistently evaluating programs and curriculum initiatives, meeting the individual needs of each student according to her age and stage of development and, most importantly, adhering to our core value – a genuine respect for the individual.

Kilvington’s core value goes back to 1923 when the school was first established. The challenging spirit of its founders Caroline and Constance Barrett is embodied in the School’s commitment to the whole education experience.

They envisioned a Kilvington girl as one who has ‘character’ - strong values, resilience, independence and the motivation to be actively involved in life and the opportunities on offer.
This is summed up in the School’s mission statement 'Kilvington: a spirited progressive community that: nurtures belonging, ignites curiosity and inspires a passion for learning.’.
