Your Questions, Answered

How large are your classes?

Our group classes generally have fewer than 15 students. VCE Humanities is delivered through personalised one-on-one tutoring. Contact our team to discuss the format of your chosen program.

What is the difference between ALC and entrance exam preparation?

Top Scope’s Accelerated Learning program supports ongoing development across core learning areas. SST6, SST8 and STS9 focus on skills relevant to particular school entrance pathways. The right choice depends on the student’s learning needs and intended goal.

Who are SST6 and SST8 designed for?

SST6 is designed for current Year 5 students preparing for Year 7 scholarship or SEAL entry pathways. SST8 is designed for current Year 7 students preparing for selective school entrance examinations. Contact our team to confirm the appropriate intake and preparation timetable.

Are all VCE subjects taught in the same class format?

No. Top Scope’s VCE English programs are delivered through small-group classes, while VCE Humanities tutoring is personalised one-on-one. Visit the relevant subject page and enquire about the format available for other subjects.

Where are your campuses, and how do I check availability?

Top Scope has five Melbourne campuses: Box Hill, Chadstone (Malvern East), Glen Eira (Glen Huntly), Preston and Bayside (Moorabbin). Contact Top Scope with your child’s year level, preferred program and campus. Our team can discuss current options. You can also view our campus locations.
