John Monash Science School

John Monash Science School is a modern secondary institution located on the Clayton campus of Monash University, featuring purpose-built laboratories and research facilities. The campus provides students with access to equipment and spaces designed specifically for hands-on science learning.

The institution was established in 2009 as Victoria's first specialist science secondary school, opening with a single Year 10 intake. It reached full enrollment capacity of about 700 students by the following year.

The school organizes its students into four houses named after Australian scientists: Flannery, Blackburn, Wood, and Doherty, each carrying its own mascots and distinct character.

The school is accessible at the intersection of Princes Highway and Wellington Road in Melbourne's south-east area. Annual entrance examinations are held to select new Year 10 students for admission.

The NBN Virtual School of Emerging Sciences, founded in 2013, allows school staff and Monash University scientists to teach online courses in astrophysics and nanoscience to students across Australia. This program connects learners in distant locations with shared research-focused education.
