Our strong academic curriculum provides the foundation for student success, and each and every program offered at our school contributes to the growth of a well-rounded member of society. Each learning initiative is designed for every student’s developmental stage. These programs start at the Reggio Emilia Philosophy in our state-of-the-art Early Learning Centre, building to The Leader in Me Process in our Junior School.

At Oakleigh Grammar we believe that all students can thrive, which is why we employ the world leading Arrowsmith Program, where necessary this deals with the root causes of a learning difficulty, rather than managing its symptoms.

Oakleigh Grammar Middle School Staff are specialists in middle years education, providing support and care to students during a time of rapid change as they approach early adulthood. In the Middle School, the appropriate use of technology is further developed. Students become more aware of their world and channel their interests into practical and collaborative learning. Higher order thinking develops with teacher encouragement.
Students are encouraged to develop leadership and a sense of service to their community within the School and further afield. Opportunities for extra-curricular activities that challenge previous reliance on family are provided through camps, excursions and group projects, requiring commitment and accountability. Our Senior School students are more than just a number Recognising the link between positive teacher/student relationships and VCE success, our dedicated staff work to ensure that students are given the individualised learning and pastoral support they require.
Responsibility for one’s own behaviour and learning become more important as students consolidate their learning styles and identify their strengths and challenges. As young citizens of a complex and demanding global community, they are encouraged to view problems as opportunities for growth. The Careers Department assists students in shaping their final years of secondary study to complement their career ambitions. Senior School students may choose to undertake extension studies and capable Year 10s can include VCE units in their study programs.
Students are challenged to understand and clarify their individual beliefs and moral code. They develop an understanding of the importance of role modelling to younger students. Leadership within year levels and of the student body are the responsibility of all Senior students. Students explore habits of effective and healthy adult life and are encouraged to venture into the world as happy, accomplished, well-adjusted and contributing citizens.
