🇦🇺 International Schools in Melbourne
5 schools, profiled on verifiable public data.
Melbourne's elite-school market mirrors Sydney's — long-established, often single-sex and faith-affiliated independents — but with one meaningful difference for internationally-mobile families: genuine IB depth alongside the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). Wesley College runs the full IB continuum (PYP/MYP/DP) from early childhood and Geelong Grammar is an IB World School, so families wanting an internationally-portable curriculum have real options here, not just the state credential. Australia has no single graded national inspectorate; quality is signalled instead by state registration (VRQA), the transparent ACARA/MySchool dataset, and publicly reported VCE/ATAR results. Several of the top schools offer boarding (Geelong Grammar runs Australia's largest co-ed boarding community), and fees — published in Australian dollars — sit at the top of the national market, with boarding charged separately.
