About Alphington Grammar School

Preparing for the Victorian Certificate of Education means balancing classroom work with the habits needed to manage deadlines, assessments and independent study. Alphington Grammar School is an independent co-educational school in Melbourne’s inner north-east, teaching from the primary years through to Years 11 and 12. Its Greek Orthodox heritage remains part of the school’s identity, alongside a broader school community and a mainstream Victorian curriculum.

Teaching combines academic work with pastoral care and co-curricular life, giving younger pupils a structured start before the senior years demand more personal organisation. The school’s Alphington setting is close to the Yarra River and within reach of Melbourne’s cultural and sporting life, while still feeling more suburban than a city-centre campus. For international families, that can mean a school-based routine rather than the independence expected at a college or university.

This will suit school-age learners who want continuity across their education and families looking for a smaller independent-school environment in Melbourne. It may be less suited to those seeking a large boarding-school setting or a specialist senior college. The available study options span primary schooling and the Victorian senior secondary certificate, so the experience is designed around school education rather than vocational or higher education study.
