Methodist Ladies' College, c. 1930

Methodist Ladies' College (commonly referred to as MLC) is a non-selective, non-denominational private day and boarding school for girls, located in Kew, an eastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school has two additional outdoor education campuses known as "Marshmead" and "Banksia".

Established in 1882 on its current campus by the Methodist Church of Australasia, MLC caters for approximately 2000 students from the Early Learning Centre (MLC Kindle) to Year 12, including more than 100 boarders.[2]

The College is a member of Girls Sport Victoria,[3] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association,[4] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[5] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[6] and the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia.[7]

MLC offers students both the Victorian Certificate of Education and the International Baccalaureate.[8]

Fees are up to $36,000 per student per year.[9]
