Top 7 A Level Schools in Melbourne

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Melbourne’s mainstream route is the VCE, but there is a small and evolving set of international and British-curriculum providers offering Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels or similar British sixth form pathways. This guide focuses on those options and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Because A Level pathways are a niche in Melbourne, useful datapoints include:

• Whether the provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels or only selected subjects
• A*/A and A*/A/B rates where A Levels are offered
• How clearly the school publishes university destinations for British-route students
• Whether the pathway is a mainstream track or a small specialist cohort
• Accreditation status with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Below are 7 widely short‑listed Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Level pathways and options for Melbourne families (A Levels are niche alongside VCE).

1. British-curriculum international schools in Melbourne offering Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels – Use Cambridge International and Pearson school finders to identify current A Level providers in Melbourne.
2. Independent schools with a British sixth form or A Level strand alongside VCE – Verify which schools offer full or partial A Level and which board.
3. Private colleges in Melbourne focused on British A Level preparation – Confirm Cambridge/Edexcel accreditation and exam-centre status.
4. Approved Cambridge/Edexcel A Level exam centres in Melbourne – Essential for private candidates and online learners.
5. Tutopiya / King’s InterHigh / Wolsey Hall Oxford (online A Levels) – UK distance-learning college; Cambridge and Edexcel A Levels with exams at approved centres.
6. Hybrid pathways – Combining a Melbourne day school (e.g. VCE) with selected A Level subjects via distance learning; confirm exam-centre arrangements.
7. Tutoring and support – Melbourne-based specialists in British A Level content can complement school or online study.

What to do next (quick checklist)

• Confirm whether a provider offers full Cambridge/Edexcel A Levels (not only IGCSE or VCE) and which subjects are available.
• Ask for recent A Level outcomes and university destinations specifically for British-route students.
• Check how the school supports UCAS and UK admissions, and how A Level timelines fit alongside VCE or other commitments.
