Toorak College is a registered provider for overseas students from Year 5 to Year 12. We help girls identify their strengths and interests and develop confident, high achieving global citizens by providing exceptional education in a nurturing, encouraging and supportive environment.
Each year we welcome many international students. The on-campus English Language Support Centre ensures a smooth transition for our international students, equipping them with the English language skills they need to be active members of the Toorak College community.
Overseas students are encouraged to maintain their cultural integrity while adapting to Australian education and socialising with local students. Toorak College is a member of the Melbourne Schools Partnership International with the University of Melbourne.
To aid in the enrolment process, Toorak College has partnered with a number of international agencies. We encourage you to contact an agent in your region for additional assistance. View the Agent List here.
