Parallel education

Parallel Education is a system in which boys and girls attend the same school, however are split into single sex classes for core subjects such as English, Maths, Science, LOTE, and Humanities however students will come together for such activities as Drama, Music and other social and cultural activities. Theoretically this means that students will receive the best education while still being able to interact with the opposite sex.

Haileybury College, Melbourne currently operates Parallel Education at its three campuses with many other leading schools set to follow.
