When your daughter attends the Academy of Mary Immaculate, she enters a tradition that favours strong cultural understanding and identity.
Our Vision
To be a premier learning community recognised for developing young women of integrity and purpose who are empowered by the values of Mercy, creativity, and social justice in pursuit of academic and personal success.
We aspire to be valued as an authentic and inclusive community faithful to the teachings of Jesus, the mission of the Catholic Church, and the spiritual tradition of the Sisters of Mercy.
Our Mission
Through our contemporary educational philosophy, we provide ambitious learning programs and co-curricular opportunities that use the rich resources of the City of Melbourne. These programs build on the legacy of our founder, Ursula Frayne, and our Catholic identity to enrich our students’ spirituality and their capacity for positive change. Our emphasis on student wellbeing develops confident contributors and strengthens engaged learning.
