A True Education
Wesley College is a leading co-educational, open-entry, IB World School. Established more than 150 years ago, the College has enriched the lives of thousands of students throughout its history.
At the heart of Wesley's approach to education is our commitment to developing well rounded individuals who aspire to achieve their personal best in all areas of learning.
The College supports the development of every girl and boy from early childhood years through to Senior School, across three Melbourne metropolitan campuses.
• Elsternwick: Three-year-olds to Year 9
• Glen Waverley: Three-year-olds to Year 12
• St Kilda Road: Three-year-olds to Year 12
At Wesley, the concept of the classroom extends beyond the traditional school space to a variety of settings, contexts and physical locations which expose, immerse and connect students to real-life learning opportunities. Some of these unique opportunities include:
a Year 9 residential program in Clunes
three Outdoor Education Camps in Victoria – Chum Creek, Lochend and Camp Mallana
Year 10 induction program at the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School in the Kimberley, Western Australia
specialist international and local tours to support students' learning.
