Currambena School is an independent primary and preschool in Lane Cove, New South Wales.

[1] It was one of a number of alternative schools that pioneered the application in Australia of the ideas of progressive educationalist A. S.

[2] The Commonwealth government uses a measure of socio-economic status of independent schools to help determine their funding; Currambena has scored highly on this scale (meaning its students live in high socio-economic status locations).

[4] As an alternative school, Currambena experienced external pressures from increasing standardisation of curricula,[6] and from reforms to student assessment.

[5] Representatives of the school were prominent in criticising developments in education policy such as the introduction of national standardised tests.
