Community languages schools help students learn and use their community language. They are also open to any student who wants to learn a new language.

The NSW Federation of Community Language Schools represents approximately 240 schools with over 450 locations state wide.

The NSW Department of Education and Communities provides funding to eligible community languages schools through the NSW Community Languages Schools Program.
