An Ivanhoe Girls’ education

We are a welcoming, vibrant and supportive community that offers an outstanding education for students from our Early Learning Centre through to the VCE years. 

Underpinned by Christian philosophy and values, an Ivanhoe Girls’ education provides a dynamic and challenging learning environment which caters for a full range of individual interests, abilities and learning styles. 
 
Our girls become independent, critical thinkers, who develop a life-long love of learning.
