The Kilmore International School

Canberra Private Schools introduces The Kilmore International School in Kilmore, for all your education and learning needs.

The Kilmore International School is modelled on international schools overseas. It was established in 1990, not so much to fill an ‘education gap’ within the region to the north of Melbourne, but to provide a very different education experience for both local and international students who wished to study in a truly international environment.

An International School exists to serve the needs of its students within the wider international community. The aim of this School is to provide for boarding and day pupils, a general education of excellence in all areas. The School aims to develop, in a disciplined and caring environment, the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, physical and social capacities of all its students, and to encourage and nurture their individual talents and abilities. It further aims to develop a responsibility to the community by demanding high personal standards and encouraging constructive citizenship and consideration for others.


The Kilmore International School aims to:

Develop the ideal of service:

• Service to others is part of life and develops the School community's conscience, thus breaking down self-interest.

Develop a responsible moral code:

• The School must provide students with every opportunity to develop a sense of moral responsibility.

Develop the intellectual skills of:

• Critical thinking, analysis, synthesis, inference and deduction.

• Communication and expression.

• Research.

• Application (arts, crafts, sports).

Develop social skills:

• The School is a family, as such we are all encouraged to develop an accepting and understanding atmosphere which develops interpersonal social skills.
