For generations, community language schools in NSW have offered children and young people the opportunity to learn their heritage, use their language, deepen their cultural understanding and strengthen their sense of identity. These schools play an important role in building community connection, respect for diversity, and pride in cultural traditions across our multicultural state.

As part of the NSW Federation of Community Language Schools and the NSW Community Languages Program, Croatian Schools NSW is proud to be part of this tradition of community-led education that supports students from Kindergarten through Year 12 in Croatian language and cultural learning. Our network brings together seven schools across Sydney and Western NSW, each rooted in local community spaces like public schools, clubs and churches, so families can access quality language learning close to home. 

In 2026 and beyond, our goals are simple but meaningful:

  • To grow opportunities for Croatian language learning that meet the needs of today’s families
  • To strengthen community bonds through shared cultural celebration and learning
  • To support every student in developing confidence, connection and cultural pride

Thank you for visiting our new website. We hope it will be a useful resource for families, students and the wider community.

Dobro došli – Welcome!

What our community says

My children come from two rich cultural backgrounds, and watching them learn Croatian has been such a joy. They look forward to language school each week, not just for the lessons but for the chance to connect with friends who share their heritage and others from outside their English‑speaking schools, and it has really expanded their confidence and sense of belonging in both communities.

Enrol for 2026

Give your child the opportunity to learn Croatian in a supportive, community-led classroom that celebrates culture, identity and connection. Enrolments for 2026 are open now! Secure your place before Term 1 begins.
