Virtual School Victoria (formerly Distance Education Centre Victoria) is an F-12 school in Thornbury, Victoria. With an annual enrolment in excess of 4000 students from F-Year 12, VSV is the largest state government school in Victoria. It shares a building with the Victorian School of Languages.

The school is split into two sub-schools:

• F-10 sub-school, which handles students from Foundation to Year 10;
• Year 11/12 sub-school, which handles students from Years 11 and 12 (including VCE and VCAL).

Work[]

The school uses blended learning, a mix of virtual and face-to-face teaching and learning. Students can visit the school during normal school hours to meet with teachers, attend seminars and study in the library or purpose-built study areas. School-assessed coursework and other testing material is typically mailed out to students whilst end of year exams and GAT are held on-site under staff supervision.
