Cornish College

Cornish College is a co‑educational independent school in Bangholme (Melbourne) situated on a 100‑acre campus and offering education from the three‑year‑old Early Learning Centre through to Year 12. The College delivers a concept‑based, inquiry curriculum: the Early Learning Centre is guided by the Reggio Emilia approach and Cornish is an authorised International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) school, with the PYP taught from the ELC through Year 6 while the Victorian Curriculum is embedded across programs. Secondary study leads into Design Futures initiatives and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) pathways in Years 10–12. Instruction is delivered in English and students study additional languages; from Year 7 students choose either French or Japanese and may continue language study through Year 10 and into VCE. Notable campus learning resources include extensive wetlands, gardens, a farm, an island and bushland (referred to as the school's 100‑acre classroom) and an EcoCentre. The College emphasises sustainability, inquiry and design thinking across its programmes.
