Private schools in Melbourne have years of history, good facility and great teaching staff. Most of them were founded and have been operated by Methodist foundations or catholic foundations. Religious schools typically ask students to attend religion class while they mark the top tier in terms of student’s academic achievement or performance in the Arts every year, thanks to their quality teaching staff and higher education enthusiasm of the students.

It is not easy for an international student to enter prestigious private schools as they are very popular and some of them even have a waiting list of 3 years. Their assessments focus on an English proficiency result (AEAS test result required), outstanding achievement in the Arts, Sports or Academic performance. Therefore, it is important to prepare letters of recommendation or honours the student has received in relation with his/her talent when making application for the prestige private schools.
The following areas have a number of recognized private schools and top school districts. Rankings in university entrance rate are available in AES. Please contact AES for details.
