Kilvington is an independent school in Melbourne offering excellence in education for girls and boys, from the Early Learning Centre to VCE. The School combines the advantages of a high-quality education with the benefits of a small, close-knit community of over 520 students. Our mission is to inspire students to strive for academic excellence, and to nurture their aspirations in a caring, family-oriented community to become people of exceptional depth, strength, integrity and character. Situated on one campus in the Melbourne suburb of Ormond, our School has been closely linked to the local community since it was founded in 1923. Thousands of students have completed their education at Kilvington, becoming part of a vibrant international Alumni network. In 2010, Kilvington made the historic decision to make the transition to coeducation. By learning within a rich and diverse coeducational environment, girls and boys will gain broader opportunities to achieve academically and to experience situations they will encounter in the real world, supporting Kilvington's goal of providing holistic education within a safe, happy learning environment. Kilvington values innovation as a bridge between the realities of today and the possibilities of the future. The world our students face involves rapid change, technological advancement and large-scale challenges.

Kilvington is renowned for its excellent pastoral care system, which is organised into the four House groups.
