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.

• We offer a nurturing environment, focusing on resilience, relationships and wellbeing, enabling each girl to feel safe and confident to pursue her learning
• We enable each girl to explore and develop her own spirituality through knowledge and appreciation of the Christian philosophy while affirming tolerance and appreciation of other beliefs
• We foster a sense of civic responsibility through a values-centred education and a rich social service program enabling girls to approach the future as responsible, caring citizens
• We provide extensive opportunities to develop leadership, collaborative learning, and critical thinking skills
