About Kilvington Grammar School

At Kilvington, our mission is to inspire our students to strive for academic excellence and to nurture aspirations in a caring, family-oriented community to become people of depth, strength, integrity and character.

Academic excellence

Kilvington has an engaging, challenging and creative academic program. We are proud that our VCE students continue to perform impressively each year, with more than 75 per cent of our students consistently in the top 25 per cent of the state.

The Kilvington difference

Central to the Kilvington educational philosophy is the uniqueness of each student within the school community.

We celebrate the individuality of each student and all that they can bring to our learning community. Teachers at Kilvington take into account who they are teaching as well as what they are teaching, as our teaching and learning goals are to plan actively and consistently to help students move positively along the learning continuum.

Differentiated instruction is embedded at Kilvington. If a student learns faster, or is ready for greater depth or breadth of knowledge, our teachers vary the learning sequence and use methods such as compacted curriculum, tiered tasks and acceleration in some cases, to broaden the scope of the learning. If a student requires additional support, provisions can be made.

One size does not fit all at Kilvington and our programs are flexible so that we can maximize the potential of our students.

Our depth projects, cross-curricular projects, enrichment program, masterclasses and ever-broadening elective programs give students across the school the opportunity to contribute, be affirmed, stretched and accomplish things they may not have thought possible.
