Melbourne Girls Grammar offers all students a world of possibility and opportunity to discover their passion.

Melbourne Girls Grammar is the only independent girls’ school in the City of Melbourne. Within walking distance of Melbourne’s world-class sporting and cultural precincts, the school has unparalleled access to the city for students to explore, discover and immerse themselves in the Melbourne way of life.

International students are integral to bringing new perspectives to our community and we support these students throughout their education with us.

International students must live within the Boarding House or with a parent.  

How to Apply

All international students must complete an Application Form (International Students) and submit it with the following documents:

  • Copy of passport or birth certificate (certified)
  • Evidence of participation in extracurricular activities
