Mount Alexander College

Mount Alexander College is a co-educational Years 7 -12 school located in Flemington, 5 kms from Melbourne's city centre. The college's approach to curriculum, student engagement and wellbeing have gained national and international recognition. We empower students to ‘take control’ of their learning. We believe education is co-constructed with students - if they are interested and passionate about their learning, they are more likely to succeed. Classes are organised vertically regardless of year levels. The majority of our students progress to further study at university or TAFE, and in 2025 more than half of our cohort achieved results within the top 30% in Victoria. We aim to create a school that remains connected and engaged with the community to help students reach their full potential as global citizens who can positively contribute to the world.

I am really glad to study here surrounded by an optimistic atmosphere, friendly teachers and students. Everyone here is responsible and trying their best to perform our school values of community, engagement, excellence, integrity and respect. We went through the tough time of the lockdown together, the online events organized by the leadership team kept our lockdown life colourful. Teachers are always there, patiently answering my every question. As a Year 12 student, I am looking forward to my future, at the same time I do not want to leave here, the school which is like a family.
