Our Difference

An education for life

St Leonard’s College is Bayside's school of choice and one of Melbourne's premier independent coeducational schools. Generations of Leonardians have enjoyed and thrived on the wonderfully diverse opportunities on offer at our College; opportunities that are offered in an unrivalled atmosphere of love and commitment to developing the whole child. St Leonard's College develops selfless global citizens, who understand that their education is not only about what it can bring to their life, but through them what it can bring to the lives of others.

Academic Excellence In 2018, our combined academic results across both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) reaffirm our position as Bayside’s leading independent school and as one of the highest performing schools in Victoria. The Class of 2018 achieved a median ATAR of 90.5.
