Academic Program
By putting students at the centre of their learning, they take responsibility for their academic growth and are, as a result, better able to contribute to society and to the learning of others.
Junior School
Transitioning to the Academy shouldn’t disrupt your daughter’s developmental trajectory. In Year 7, we build your daughter’s sense of belonging to our community through activities like the Year 7 Camp, which brings together girls in a team environment that reinforces our vision and values. Our Big Sister/Little Sister program pairs an older Academy girl with your daughter to make sure she has someone who has been there before, someone she trusts, and who can answer her questions.
As Academy girls emerge from Year 7’s immersive experiences, they enter Year 8 and consolidate their new friendships and learning pathways. With a focus on STEAM subjects and co-curricular opportunities, we guide students through a range of academic and social investigations based on inquiry, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In Year 8, our students also begin using Melbourne’s best learning and cultural centres, like the NGV, to synthesise their developing curiosity. To find out more about the specific academic subject that underpin your daughter’s social and learning development, download the Year 7 Course Guide or Year 8 Course Guide.
Middle School
In Year 9, students undertake the cross-curricula Synergy program. During a full term, students learn about sustainable Melbourne through in-depth discussion and actionable outcomes that arise from classes. From our location beside the Carlton Gardens, students have easy access to important learning and cultural centres around the CBD, including Melbourne Museum, the NGV, ACMI, universities, and other historical sites. They use their learnings to design, create, and present a robust case for how combining small individual changes can lead to large, positive effects.
In Year 10, Academy girls will have an appreciation and respect of our holistic environment. They apply their knowledge through careers planning and work experience, as well as selecting complementary subjects that match their interests. This starts them on a pathway towards the positive change they aspire to be. Students also have the opportunity to support traditional learning with educational travel to our sister schools in Italy and Japan, and study tours to France.

Senior School
In the age of digital disruption, fluidity is the key to the Academy’s Senior School approach. Before Year 11 and Year 12, we encourage Academy girls to think about what they will need in order to up-skill and better traverse the future career market. All students take control of their education by selecting the subjects that will lead them on the pathway they aspire to.
During their Senior School years, we provide academic, wellbeing, and career planning support so that each student can pursue their university, TAFE, apprenticeship, traineeship, or employment pathway.
