Prep to Year 6
At our Arlington campus, learning is built around deep relationships between educators and children who explore ideas that matter to them, working on imaginative, real-world projects in a warm environment that encourages creative thinking, collaboration and self-direction from the earliest years.
Primary SchoolYear 7 - Year 8
In Middle School, we design learning around the individual, recognising these years as critical to shaping identity, confidence and connection. Students are known and supported to take ownership of their learning. Through inquiry, play, nature and strong relationships, they build agency and a clear sense of self.
Middle SchoolYear 9 - Year 12
At Blackhall, young people have freedom and support to shape their own learning pathways. Whether they pursue IB, VCE, VM, or VET, they're guided with integrity, and engage with the world as thoughtful, independent learners, well prepared for life beyond school.
Secondary SchoolSenior Studio
Opening in 2028, Preshil’s Senior Studio will bring Years 9–12 learning to Carlton, placing students in the heart of Melbourne’s cultural and education precinct. With universities, libraries, museums and creative industries nearby, the campus will support inquiry, independent study, collaborative projects and personalised pathways, connecting learning more closely with the world beyond school.
Senior StudioAn original school. Made for originals.
For nearly 100 years, we’ve cultivated a school where difference is welcomed, individuality is supported, and students grow into themselves, not someone else’s idea of who they should be.
Students are recognised both for who they are and the community they are part of.
Educators are attuned and responsive to each learner and to the group as a whole. With team teaching, small class sizes and a culture built on trust, relationships come first. That’s how we create a learning environment where students feel safe to take on real challenges, explore their interests and grow in meaningful ways.
From Prep to Year 12, our programs are built to be flexible to each student’s strengths, interests and pace of learning. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pathways.
Instead, students help shape what and how they learn, guided by educators who adapt to them, not a rigid curriculum. Whether secondary students pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB), VCE, VET or the VCE Vocational Major (VM), Preshil students have the opportunity to grow in ways that build confidence, real capability and meaningful academic success.
We are proudly independent, non-sectarian and community-centred.
Every student is part of something bigger—a culture of trust, openness and mutual respect. At Preshil, your child is supported to grow into who they already are—with confidence, curiosity and a sense of purpose.
With a school as original as ours, every student is free to be original too.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are situated. We pay respects to Elders past and present, and extend this respect to all Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people.
