Wesley College is a co-educational, open-entry private school in Melbourne, Australia. Established in 1866,[2] the college is the only school in Victoria to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) from early childhood to Year 12.[3]

The college consists of three main metropolitan campuses in Melbourne, St Kilda Road, Glen Waverley and Elsternwick,[4] residential/boarding facilities (Glen Waverley),[5] three outdoor education sites (Mallana, Chum Creek, & Lochend),[6] a year 9 residential learning campus in Clunes[7] and the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School (Yiramalay) in the Kimberley Region.[8]

Wesley was the first registered school in Australia[9] and is a founding member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS). It is affiliated with the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia, the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria, the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[10]
