Fitzroy Community School

FCS is an independent and alternative primary school in Melbourne, Australia. FCS has a relaxed, community (extended family) kind of atmosphere, which you can see for yourself with children being joyful, playful and curious to learn. This school is so different to your run-of-the-mill institutions that we send our future generations to rote stuff without even understanding what this little person is interested in and how can we make learning fun for him/her. This is where FCS shines; their class strengths are in single digits and teachers take time to understand the needs of their students before starting to teach.

FCS was founded in 1976 by Philip O'Carroll and Faye Berryman in their home on Brunswick Street, North Fitzroy and still operates at this address. FCS is thankful to its supporters to still have their commitment and experience four decades later. Few years ago, FCS opened a second campus in Normanby Avenue, Thornbury (Melbourne, Victoria) under the leadership of amazingly caring teacher-couple (Wayne and Joelle).
