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. Yarra Valley Grammar’s team of teachers know their material, love their subjects and love to teach. 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.
Yarra Valley Grammar’s broad curriculum is responsive to individual student needs, with extra opportunities for enrichment and support. 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.
A unique aspect of Yarra Valley Grammar is its spacious grounds and extensive onsite playing fields, superior facilities for music, drama and dance within the School’s Performing Arts Centre and Music School and the School’s internationally acclaimed Hearing Unit has a high-tech facility onsite.
