Founded in 1982, The Knox School is a leading independent, co-education school in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs providing exceptional education from Early Learning to Year 12.

As a non-denominational school, our values are at the heart of everything we do at Knox. We celebrate each student's uniqueness, and through a close community, they can find their niche.

The Knox School has a distinguished reputation for providing personalised learning for all students, who become the architect and advocate for their learning journey.

We know the world our students are inheriting is an uncertain one, so we are committed to cultivating an adaptive set of skills that prepares students with traditional knowledge essential to succeed and the resilience to embrace change as an opportunity.

Our educators connect, shape, provoke and position their students to thrive in an adaptive global environment, activate engaging, demanding and rewarding learning, and support students to advocate for themselves, contribute to their communities and thrive.

Whether in the classroom to the sporting field, you can always tell a TKS student from their confidence, passion and commitment to life-long learning.

The Knox School strives to ensure every student reaches their full potential by providing a personalised learning experience that promotes a positive, challenging and affirming learning experience.

Students are encouraged to seek meaning, be curious, collaborate, take risks and challenge themselves. This is achieved by building a strong academic foundation while also providing a holistic learning environment that promotes inquiry, creativity, questioning and exploration.
