Haileybury is an Australian private school with campuses in Keysborough, Brighton East, Berwick, Melbourne's CBD, Darwin, Northern Territory and online campus, Haileybury Pangua. It also has an international campus in the Tianjin outer district of Wuqing, China. Middle School (Years 5-8) at Haileybury introduces parallel education where students are separated into single-gender classrooms for their academic studies and for Sport and Camping programs. Although learning in separate classes, boys and girls share the same campus and socialise in co-curricular activities together.[4] Haileybury has been described as the largest independent school in Australia.[5]

Haileybury maintains strong relationships with schools in Bangladesh, China, Japan, France, Sri Lanka, England, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Haileybury delivers the VCE program to a number of schools in China and most recently has partnered with the Dili International School.

Haileybury has been endorsed as one of Australia’s best schools with multiple awards from the Australian Education Awards, including Australian School of the Year, Primary School of the Year, Principal of the Year, Best Student Wellbeing and Best Remote Learning. Haileybury has also been ranked as the number one co-educational primary school in Victoria and the number two secondary school, based on national testing results.[6]
