Top 12 IGCSE Schools in Melbourne

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

Melbourne has a deep independent school market. While many follow Australian curricula, a number offer international pathways (including Cambridge-linked or IGCSE-style preparation, and often IB). Families typically rank schools based on academic outcomes signals, subject breadth, and consistent exam-technique routines.

What to ask for (IGCSE outcomes + evidence)

• Whether IGCSE/International GCSE is offered (and for which subjects), or which international exam route is used
• Cohort size and exam entries (if applicable)
• Mock exam calendar and past-paper routines
