Collingwood College is a government P-12 school established in 1882 and is located in the inner-city suburb of Collingwood, close to Melbourne¿s CBD.

The college has a defined philosophy of education and has three main streams of learning, including a P-5 inquiry based mainstream learning approach, a secondary MYP IB mainstream program based on the Victorian Curriculum and a specialist P-9 Steiner Program.

The second campus to Collingwood College, The Collingwood Alternative School (CAS) enrols students from 14 years old and operates through a re-engagement approach.
