At Ave Maria College, we foster a culture of rigorous academic achievement, underpinned by self-confidence and a deep relationship with God. It is through these principles and the pillars of faith, learning, community and growth that our students leave the College thriving – both personally and professionally. In preparing for the future of our students, we acknowledge that education is constantly changing and evolving along with the world around us.

With an emphasis on design thinking, STEM and enterprise skills, our innovative and challenging curriculum prepares our students for the workforce of the future. Through this curriculum, we are reimagining the types of classes, topics, assessments, experiences and state of the art resources, like our 3D printers and student run Coffee Cart, that our students can get involved with.

Further, as part of the College’s commitment to diversifying pathway options for our students, we are introducing a VCE Vocational Major and the Ave Tertiary Preparation Program from 2023 onwards.

Both programs are a non-scored option for students that provides greater flexibility, still allowing students to complete some VCE units to meet tertiary entrance requirements. Our diverse and ever evolving curriculum is designed to meet the myriad of needs of our students’ schooling journeys.
