Australia's Premier Coeducational Day and Boarding School
We're a stand-alone, coeducational, junior boarding and day school. Our strong academic programs and nurturing environment mean our students live life to the full now and at the same time they are prepared for the future.
We are thrilled to announce that in 2012 we proudly welcomed our first group of Kindergarten students into the school. Toowoomba Prep has a long history of providing an exceptional education for primary aged students, preparing them for secondary schooling. We are also leaders in the field of early years education, providing strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and inquiry, and giving our students the advantage of an excellent start to their life-long learning.
Our Kindergarten program involves fostering children’s creativity and natural curiosity. It encourages children to learn through discovery and play, and it guides them to be active participants, innovative thinkers and keen learners. Our teachers are enthusiastic and experienced early years’ educators who have a passion for providing the best learning experiences for their students.
To enrol your child in our Kindergarten please contact our Enrolments Officer on 07 4639 8111.

From the Head of School...
Welcome to the website of The Toowoomba Preparatory School. I encourage you explore the various pages to discover for yourselves, what our students, parents and teachers already know; that Prep is a centre of excellence, in so many ways.
As Australia's largest coeducational boarding school for primary aged students, Prep specialises in providing a caring home-away-from home environment for our boarding students. Read the Boarding pages for information about our five Boarding Houses, each of which operates as a family-like community.
The links to Curriculum, The Arts and Sport will provide you with a snap-shot of the dynamic learning experiences our students enjoy. You will read about the rigorous and exciting academic programs, the enormous number of sporting opportunities and the outstanding Arts program.
As an Anglican School, Toowoomba Prep bases its distinctive pastoral care on Christian values and strong ethics. Nurturing students is one of our primary goals and we aim to foster within our children, the desire to explore their spirituality and understand their uniqueness.
Reading through the website, you will begin to see how challenge, discovery and achievement are at the heart of a Prep education and you will understand that children are given the best possible start to their process of life-long learning.
Exploring a website is beneficial but to gain a real sense of the Prep community, to observe the harmony in the boarding houses and to understand why our students love coming to school, I invite you to visit us and tour our campus. In this way you will capture the true essence of Prep.
