Kardinia International College is a K-12 educational, non-denominational, independent school located in Bell Post Hill, Geelong. The College is situated on 52 acres of spacious grounds with a large number of lawns, sporting ovals and well-developed gardens. It is the setting for a most impressive array of first-class facilities.
The College began on 3 February 1996 with 31 Senior School students and 42 Kindergarten children, growing to over 1400 students in its first seven years. The College population has now stabilised and is maintained at around 2000 students. The total student population is comprised of approximately 120 kindergarten, 490 primary and 1400 secondary students.
While students live predominantly in Geelong and its' surrounds, students attend the College from Western Melbourne, Colac, the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast and nearby regional centres. The student population also includes approximately 60 overseas students from countries including China, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Kardinia International College is an International Baccalaureate World school, which offers the IB Primary Years Programme to students in Years K-6, a vertical curriculum based on the guidelines of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority to students in Years 7-10 and both the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme and the Victorian Certificate of Education options to students in Years 11 and 12.
In February 2017, our Kardinia Grove Year 5 Campus was officially opened. This purpose-built campus sits on approximately 30 acres of farm land, just minutes from our main campus at Bell Post Hill.
The College provides a nurturing environment for our students from Kindergarten to Year 12, preparing them to be leaders and productive participants in the 21st century. The drive for high academic excellence not only serves to give students leading and productive places in the future, but also gives rise to a wisdom and an understanding that provide a foundation for our all pervasive ethos of respect and friendship.
