List of schools in Port Moresby
This is a list of schools in Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea.
Papua New Guinea's education system is divided into two sections: the international school system, which is administered by the International Education Agency and offers a standard of education based on Australian or British school systems or the International Baccalaureate; and the national school system, which consists of elementary (K–2), primary (3–8) and secondary (9–12) schools. Competitive examinations are held in year 10 for entry into the country's four national high schools, of which one is located in Port Moresby.
Port Moresby is internally divided into wards or town areas. They are:
- Town/Hanuabada — along the west coast, including the CBD
- Tokarara/Hohola — northeast of the CBD
- Kila Kila/Kaugere — along the south coast
- Boroko/Korobosea — centred on Boroko east of the CBD
- Gordons/Saraga — eastern suburbs, north of Boroko
- Waigani/University — northern suburbs
- Gerehu — outer northern suburbs
- Bomana — north-eastern townships beyond the metropolitan area
