Croydon has four schools: two primary and two secondary.
The suburb's oldest school is Croydon Public School, a primary, co-educational public school, established in 1883.
Over 700 students currently attend the school, which is located on Young Street.
The suburb's other primary school is Holy Innocents Catholic Primary School, a Roman Catholic, co-educational primary school, established in 1924.
It is a much smaller school than Croydon Public School, with a total enrolment of around 200 students.
Holy Innocents is located on Queen Street opposite Burwood Girls High School which, despite its name and proximity to Burwood, is in fact situated within the boundaries of Croydon.
Currently about 1200 students attend the secondary public school for girls, which was established in 1929.

Another school for girls is Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney (PLC Sydney), an independent, Presbyterian, R-12, day and boarding school.
The school was established in 1888 but did not move to its current Croydon location until 1891.
Around 1150 girls currently attend the school.
PLC Sydney is similar to the nearby Burwood Girls High School in that the vast majority of girls from both of these schools are not residents of Croydon, but instead travel to school from surrounding suburbs.
