Victorian School of Languages
- Victorian School of Languages
The Victorian School of Languages (VSL) is a government school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, founded in 1935. It has a strong history of commitment to the provision of language programs for students in Years 1 to 12 who do not have access to the study of those languages in their mainstream schools. The school’s language program is delivered through face-to-face teaching in 36 language Centres across the state and through Distance Education mode. The VSL Head Office is located in Thornbury, Melbourne. The current principal is Frank Merlino.
The VSL offers over 40 languages around Victoria to 14,000 students in face-to-face classes and 11 languages to 1500 students in distance education. The school is the largest single VCE language provider with over 4000 VCE students. For many languages the VSL is the only provider through to VCE level.
VSL students are drawn from three school sectors (State: approximately 70%, Independent: approximately 20% and Catholic: approximately 10%). The VSL also caters for a number of adults and overseas students.
The Victorian School of Languages is also a Registered Training Organization (RTO) which is able to deliver nationally recognized Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate courses. As RTO the school can also tailor face-to-face courses to suit individual corporations or community groups.
