Wesley College - A true education

Wesley College is a leading coeducational, open-entry school. Established over 150 years ago, the College has enriched the lives of thousands of students through its outstanding liberal, broad-based curriculum. Students from a range of cultures choose Wesley because of our strong tradition of academic excellence, outstanding curricular and cocurricular programs and state-of-the-art facilities.

Wesley has three metropolitan campuses in Melbourne:

• Elsternwick, 3 year olds to Year 9
• Glen Waverley, 3 year olds to Year 12
• St Kilda Road, 3 year olds to Year 12

Academic excellence

Wesley places the highest value on academic excellence, and encourages each student to aspire to achieve excellence in all areas of learning. Wesley is one of the top Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in Australia, and one of the only schools in Victoria to offer the IB continuum from Primary through to Senior School.

Cocurricular learning

What sets Wesley apart are the opportunities for students to explore their interests and talents across a wide variety of activities, from visual and performing arts, to sport, music, outdoor education and community service. With a choice of 21 sports, 23 bands, 21 chamber ensembles, 16 choirs, 10 orchestras, 7 musicals and 4 theatre performances, there’s something for every student.
