The Geelong College, established in 1861, is a Uniting Church coeducational day and boarding school with nearly 1,700 students, including 100 boarders. We provide a rich and inspiring education that encourages students to flourish, be innovative, and confidently pursue their academic, social, emotional, and physical potential.

Boarding has been a defining part of College life for over 160 years. International students can enrol from Year 7 (age 13) and quickly adapt to our supportive, structured environment. A balanced routine between study, sport, music and recreation helps students thrive and make the most of their opportunities. Boarding is a special experience where students live, learn and grow together in a safe and nurturing environment.

While academic excellence remains a core focus, we also emphasise diverse learning experiences that prepare our students to contribute positively to society. Boarding fosters a strong sense of belonging, helping students build lifelong friendships and develop independence in a supportive community.
