Hartford College is Australia’s first Catholic Liberal Arts school for boys, offering a unique educational experience for Years 5–12. Located in the Eastern Suburbs, Hartford forms young men of virtue, intellect and faith through a distinctive blend of rigorous academics, personal mentoring, and a strong partnership with parents.

Our classical curriculum invites boys to engage with great ideas, timeless texts, and the pursuit of truth, cultivating critical thinking, imagination, and a deep appreciation for beauty and wisdom.

At Hartford, every boy is known. Small class sizes and a highly personalised mentoring program ensure each student receives individual guidance in both character and academic development. Faith is at the heart of our mission, with Catholic identity woven through every subject, activity, and interaction, encouraging boys to grow into young men who act with integrity and serve others with compassion.

We believe that education is most powerful when school and family work together. Parents are welcomed as partners and co-educators, united in forming boys who will lead with courage and conviction. With opportunities across sport, service, leadership and family-building experiences like our Father & Son camps, Hartford College offers an education that shapes the whole person, mind, heart, and soul.
