Yarra Valley Grammar overlooks the Yarra Valley and picturesque Dandenong Ranges. Our students excel under the guidance of great teachers who love what they do and seek to inspire them to strive for excellence. The School offers an extensive range of contemporary opportunities and sets high standards of performance, encouraging all students to achieve their personal best. Great teachers are able to vary the way they teach to suit the way each student learns. This takes patience, flexibility and the ability to see things from the students’ perspective.

They have a genuine interest in getting to know their students, so they can teach them effectively, encourage them to achieve their best, identify issues or problems, and care for their welfare.

Key Learning Areas include Art and Design, Business Studies, Design and Technology, English, Health and Physical Education, Humanities, ICT, Languages, Mathematics, Outdoor Education and Science.
