At ELTHAM College, we believe that school is a daring adventure where children learn to think for themselves in preparation for a future of exciting possibilities. Our exceptional teachers and small classes enable students to be treated as individuals and to be given individual attention. We focus on the skills and attributes that make each of them unique.

At ELTHAM we are committed to creating spaces and opportunities for collaborative learning. Our young people are encouraged to see life as a chance for unlimited learning, while we have the privilege of helping to ‘grow the hearts and minds’ of the next generation. Our curriculum integrates literacy and numeracy into a wide range of experiences, ensuring that learning is meaningful and constructive.

We’re constantly adapting to the changing needs of young people and their world. We support them on their learning journey to unlock their talents through one of Victoria’s broadest curriculums. Most importantly, our teachers guide each young person to become empowered with the selfconfidence and independence to manage all aspects of their future lives.

Specifically designed to respond to the learning and social needs of young people who are navigating their way to adulthood. The study of humanities is crucial in our fast-paced world. Students study geographical, historical and economic concepts as well as exploring what it means to be an informed citizen, who can think creatively and critically.
