The Academy of Mary Immaculate provides an outstanding secondary education for girls, developing confident, independent thinkers who are well equipped to face the promise and challenge of the future.

The Academy offers a learning environment that is second to none. Its rigorous academic focus is complemented by a practical faith formation and a strong emphasis on student wellbeing and development. The Academy believes that education is a partnership, and open communication between parents, students, teachers and staff is warmly encouraged.

The College is committed to ensuring quality educational outcomes for all students. It sets high standards and encourages girls not to limit themselves or their imagination. It also provides a rich co-curricular program that promotes creativity, confidence and leadership, and includes extensive sports and performance opportunities, leadership development and social justice initiatives.

The Academy is uniquely placed in both history and location. It is the oldest girls’ secondary school in Victoria and enjoys a superb location at the top of Nicholson Street, Fitzroy, overlooking the Melbourne
Museum and Carlton Gardens. Taking full advantage of its central location, students access parklands, outdoor sporting facilities and enhanced learning opportunities with Melbourne’s premier educational and
cultural institutions.

The College environment is a vibrant, seamless mix of the historic and modern. Students from all over metropolitan Melbourne benefit from technologically enhanced learning and facilities in beautiful enclosed grounds and grand old buildings. Underpinning all learning at the Academy are the enduring values of the Mercy tradition.

The Academy welcomes prospective families to morning ‘Talk and Tour’ sessions running throughout the year. Visitors see students and teachers in real learning situations, tour the College and talk with student ambassadors.
