What is a Community School?

A Community Language School is a For-Purpose organisation, after-hours language and culture school open to all students irrespective of their linguistic background.

All Community language Schools work to sustain and develop the languages and cultures of Australian communities. They provide a focus for their communities and foster a sense of identity among Australians of all cultural backgrounds. Most importantly, community schools promote cohesion within the diversity of multicultural society.

Community Schools offer the widest range of language of any Australian educational institution. Many are languages vital to Australia's economic development.
