The Aspect Central Coast School has provided specialised autism education for over 30 years across The Entrance, Wyong and Gosford Local Government Areas. We provide educational services across a wide geographical area.
Our main campus is in Terrigal and we have satellite classes in both NSW Department of Education and Catholic Schools at Tuggerah, Gosford, Woy Woy and Toukley. Our school currently caters to over 135 students from 4 to 17 years. Aspect Central Coast School uses the Aspect Comprehensive Approach to provide individualised education programs that understand, engage and celebrate strengths, interests and aspirations of people on the autism spectrum. The school holds regular pre-enrolment tours which include a presentation about Aspect and the Education program and a tour of the main school site.
