| Description | Affiliation: Ivanhoe Grammar School is a coeducational Anglican school. Ivanhoe Grammar School is a leading co-educational independent (private) Anglican school in Melbourne, Australia. It has a long history of providing educational programs to international students, having enrolled its first overseas students in the 1940s. The School was established in 1915 and offers two campuses for international students. The Ivanhoe Campus is located in suburban Ivanhoe, just twelve kilometres from the centre of the city. The campuses's excellent facilities are situated in a spacious and park-like setting and the campus is well served by public transport and enjoys easy access to the amenities of the city of Melbourne. Our Plenty Campus is situated 30 kilometres from the city centre and offers international students state of the art Senior Years facilities on a smaller, more intimate campus. With a Year 7 – 12 enrolment of around 400, our international students at Plenty appreciate the family, all inclusive feel of this special campus. Many families in Australia choose to educate their children in independent rather than government schools. Ivanhoe welcomes students of all nationalities and faiths, and values the diversity of its population, which reflects the multicultural nature of contemporary Australian society. |
