ELTHAM creates learning relevant to the 21st century. As a non-selective coeducational independent school we welcome students of all backgrounds, talents and abilities. We are committed to their personal success. Our mission, to 'release and enhance talents' is reflected in one of Victoria's broadest curriculums, giving our students the opportunity to explore possibilities and realise their dreams. We create a liberating environment where teachers and students work together in harmony, friendship and mutual respect. Our goal is for each young person to graduate empowered as a proactive, self-directed, lifelong learner who can succeed in future studies, the workplace and in life. Our reputation is built on big ideas in education. Our all-day Kindergarten programs inspire creativity while our Prep students explore learning through discovery-based learning. Our Junior Years program emphasises working together within interconnected workspaces. Communities that promote self-confidence and a love of learning feature in our Middle Years program.
