About Us
Our Story
Higher Order Thinking (H.O.T) School is a family owned and operated tuition school, providing a more personal, more tailored, more in-touch approach for your children. Having been established in 2006 to support the diverse needs of students in the Carlingford and Epping area, we are proud to have supported thousands of students to reach their goals.
At H.O.T School, we pride ourselves on providing a supportive, nurturing and engaging environment, where our students love to learn. Our focus is on facilitating meaningful classroom learning which supports students to reach their full potential.
Our Approach
H.O.T School stands for Higher Order Thinking School, which addresses our belief in the importance of fostering meaningful learning experiences, which develop the mental abilities of our students. We focus on teaching concepts whilst scaffolding students’ ideas, understanding and curiosity. This approach enhances the confidence of our students, as we build on their existing knowledge and guide them to master their ability to capably solve problems and complete academic tasks independently.
We also firmly believe that all students are capable learners; sometimes they just need some help to see this! We encourage the development of positive learning dispositions and growth mindsets in our classrooms, so our students learn to approach different situations in life with a sense of openness, perseverance and positivity.

Our Programs
Whether your child needs to be challenged, or needs help catching up at school, we've got you covered.
We recognise that parents know their children better than anyone, so please contact us, and we can discuss the most suitable options for your child. We are continuously monitoring student’s progress in classes, and if for any reason the program they are enrolled in is no longer the best option for them, we will contact you to discuss alternate options.
