Who We Are
About the College
Nestled in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges in Melbourne’s Eastern suburbs, Oxley is a Christian College that sits on 70 acres of spacious and beautifully manicured grounds. Covering a coeducational K-12 program alongside Oxley Kids, our mission is to provide an education for excellence within a Biblical Christian worldview.
Why Oxley?
Our educational philosophy concentrates on the holistic formation of students.
Embedded in a Christian framework and community, our approach to schooling aims to nurture the inner person or human soul. It’s here that students are encouraged to cultivate personal capacities, to engage in joyful celebrations, marvel at the mysteries inherent in nature, and deeply embrace gratitude for a life enriched by God's grace. We emphasize an exploration of objective truth, goodness, and beauty in each facet of life.
Education is about shaping the soul, guiding students to love what is true, good and beautiful in the world, to think God's thoughts after him.
Oxley challenges students to immerse themselves in a disciplined and rigorous academic curriculum.
Our programs incorporate explicit instruction, active learning, problem-solving, critical thinking, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning. Studies are leveraged by innovative technology and supported by comprehensive pastoral care, and the outstanding co-curricular opportunities in music, the performing arts, sports and recreation. Recognizing the varied needs of our students, we provide individualized learning plans to accommodate those who are exceptionally talented and for those who may face learning challenges.
Our goal is to see students flourishing in every aspect of their lives.
Our intent is that students will reflect on their school years with profound satisfaction and to eagerly anticipate the opportunities for higher learning that lie ahead. Oxley endeavours to make every aspect of the educational journey a source of delight and fulfillment.
