List of schools in the Australian Capital Territory

This is a list of schools in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), which houses Australia's capital city, Canberra. The Territory's education system consists of primary schools, which accommodate students from Kindergarten to Year 6, high schools, which accommodate students from Years 7 to 10, and secondary colleges, which are specialist Year 11–12 institutions. As a result of development in newer areas and mergers in existing areas, some schools accommodate more than one of the above year ranges. Certificates are awarded on the basis of continuous assessment of students' progress at the end of years 10 and 12 by the ACT Education Directorate.

While the Jervis Bay Territory is an internal territory of Australia, separate to the ACT, many of its government departments (including education) is managed by the ACT government. It has a single primary school, which has been added to this list.
