International Students
Alphington Grammar School is an independent co-educational school providing academic programmes leading to university entrance qualifications at the end of Year 12.
The majority of our students are Australian but we also offer places to international students, mostly from South East Asia and China. We welcome students from all ethnic backgrounds, providing extensive English as a Second Language tuition and support and quickly integrating them into mainstream academic classes.
Our full time International Student Co-ordinator closely monitors the progress and welfare of all international students and keeps in contact with guardians and homestay families. Well appointed common room, study and computer facilities are available to international and local students alike.
A programme of social activities and guidance sessions assits students to adjust quickly to life in Australia and to achieve their best in their studies. Local and international students mix in study, sport, cultural and social events. Extensive guidance is given on applying for university courses. Virtually all Alphington students go on to tertiary study.
Students work towards the Victorian Certificate of Education, an internationally recognised university entrance qualification. We offer a full range of courses in English, Chinese, mathematics, the sciences, business and commerce, the arts and humanities. Students also participate in a wide variety of competitive sport.
Alphington Grammar is a small school emphasising individual care and attention within a secure environment. Our policy is to operate classes of no more than twenty-five students and in many cases our classes are much smaller than this. We promote traditional values of respect for others, pride in oneself and determination to do one's best, and we have a strict uniform policy and code of conduct.
Our campus is located 5 kilometres from the centre of Melbourne, in a pleasant residential area and close to frequent public transport services. We have modern air-conditioned classrooms and other facilities.
We offer an excellent education at a reasonable cost.
