Description

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. Wesley is one of the top Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in Australia which offers the IB continuum from Primary through to Senior School. We offer a diverse breadth of subjects for students to choose from, including a wide range of VCE and IB DP subjects, including six languages. International students from a range of cultures choose Wesley because of our strong tradition of academic excellence, world-class curricular and cocurricular choices, state-of-the-art facilities and quality pastoral care.

Wesley College places the highest value on academic outcomes. Our graduating students achieve impressive results each year in both VCE and IB DP. Upon graduating from Wesley, many students have continued their studies at Australian universities, with the majority offered a place at either The University of Melbourne or Monash University. Many choose to study at leading international universities, including Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, within such fields as medicine, law, commerce, politics, science and information technology.
