Academy of Mary Immaculate has educated young women for 168 years. Our vision and values shape a learning community committed to girls’ education and supports the important role young women will play in the future of Australia and the world. As the city school for girls, we sit at the crossroads of where education meets the real world. We believe students who feel secure in their learning environment will be confident making social connections and in pursuing academic goals.
Our Year 7 transition program creates opportunities for connection and belonging, through peer-led support and an embedded Wellbeing Program, so that students can explore and negotiate difficulties or challenges with a strong sense of identity, social justice and purpose. From our location beside the Carlton Gardens, we conduct classes in Melbourne’s premiere learning and cultural centres – including the NGV, Melbourne Museum, ACMI and nearby world-class universities. Our Year 9 cross-curricular program, Synergy, requires students to apply knowledge across all subject areas as they investigate an immersive learning project and produce robust research papers, which they present to the school community.
We match curriculum with extension and support programs and co-curricular subjects – including the Arts, sports, social justice and leadership initiatives.
A message from the Principal
The Academy of Mary Immaculate is a Catholic College in the Mercy Tradition united by our six Mercy values – Respect, Compassion, Justice, Service, Hospitality and Courage. These values underpin all our endeavours and are expressed in deed and word.
The Academy is a strong and united community, a place where students are known and feel safe and connected. We are a College of learning excellence and innovation and educate our students to be strong, resilient women.
We understand the intrinsic link between learning and wellbeing and ensure that our students are guided and supported in their learning, that they strive to excel and that challenges are met with grit, grace and determination. We educate the whole person.
Located just opposite the Melbourne Museum, we are “the city school for girls”. The city is our classroom. Much of our teaching and learning is based in and around the City of Melbourne.
We were established in 1857 and the College has operated continuously on this one site since then. As the oldest girls’ Catholic College in Victoria we celebrate our 168th year.
We invite you to visit us and see the vibrant, dynamic College that is the Academy.
