Our PLACE

Life at boarding school? It’s simply home, away from home.

Boarding school may seem a world away; somewhat mysterious from the outside. At Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC), what lies beyond the boarding school’s historic Gothic-style exterior is a modern yet inviting place that looks and feels like home to its current 100 student residents. Once the school day ends, there are numerous bright and airy spaces for girls to indulge their many interests – from baking and watching movies, to simply being teenagers. Located in Melbourne’s inner-east suburb of Kew since 1882, MLC is one of Australia’s leading independent girls’ schools, and has long welcomed day students and boarders from all backgrounds. From its world-class staff and progressive and diverse reputation, to its renowned Student Wellbeing program, MLC’S aim is to give every student a positive school experience so she can leave a confident, world-ready woman – that’s the MLC difference.
