Thomas Hassall Anglican College is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary, and secondary day school, located in Middleton Grange, a south-western suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The College provides a religious and general education to approximately 1,700 students from early learning, through Prep to Year 12.
The College was founded in late 1999 by the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation. Rapid growth in the area demanded the need for a new independent school, with nearest independent schools including Macarthur Anglican School, Freeman Catholic College and Good Samaritan Catholic College.
The school began operation on its current Middleton Grange campus in 2000. Initially the school operated Kindergarten to Year 6 classes, with an additional year being added each calendar year, until 2006 when both early learning and Year 12 began operation.
Today, Thomas Hassall Anglican College provides a high quality Christian education for more than 1,800 young people of the Western Sydney region, upholding both strong moral and religious values.
