The Academy Today

The Academy has a rich heritage and a fine tradition of faith, adaptability and courage. Staff and students are encouraged to value both experience and tradition and yet to be open to change and innovation. And so each year, each day, the history of the College continues to be made as students, staff and parents cooperate to equip our students to live each one's life to the full.

The College offers a most comprehensive range of subjects both academic and practical. In this way the girls are prepared for entry into the workforce in a diverse number of fields and into tertiary courses, as well as being assisted towards the creative use of leisure time.

Today the College caters for approximately 650 students from Years 7 - 12 on the one historic site in Nicholson Street, Fitzroy. (opposite the Museum)

It caters for students from nearby inner city suburbs, but because it is extremely well served by public transport (train/tram) and it is not a regional school, about 70% of students come from a wide area of Melbourne. As well, an increasing number of past pupils choose the Academy for their daughters, in order to continue family tradition.

At the Academy, we never forget that we are "Educating young women for excellence".
