Curriculum

Our school curriculum offers an integrated approach to learning and wellbeing for girls from Year Prep to Year 12. Our curriculum sets us apart from other open-entry and independent schools in Victoria.  

At MLC, the way students learn breathes life into our Vision, Mission and Values. Our curriculum guides what our students learn, and how they structure their learning on a day-to-day basis. It informs a common set of knowledge, skills, and shared experiences that create a strong sense of belonging and a lifelong love of learning.

Pathways through Curriculum

Learning at MLC is an adventure, and each curriculum pathway is challenging yet motivating and, most importantly, provides clear learning progression that builds upon what was learned before.

The strength and diversity of our learning pathways, subject choice, individualised wellbeing approach, and Education Outdoor programs ensure our students access and enjoy greater and greater freedom and enrichment as they move through their years of learning.
