About international schools in Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne’s international-school scene is closely integrated with the city’s broader independent-school sector, so pupils will commonly find International Baccalaureate programmes alongside the Victorian Certificate of Education and some British-style (IGCSE/A-Level) options rather than a separate expat-only system. Many schools teach in English while offering strong language programmes or bilingual streams (Mandarin, Japanese, French and other languages are commonly available), and families should budget for private-school tuition that typically sits in a wide band rather than a single price point. The Victorian school year begins in late January and most schools run a principal intake at the start of the school year with some mid-year places available, so families usually need to start applications several months before arrival and have school reports, immunisation records and identity documents ready. Be aware that visa or temporary-resident status affects enrolment pathways and fee classification for public versus private places, and additional costs such as enrolment levies, uniforms, excursions and optional programs are common.
