Eltham College began as a small boarding school in Walthamstow catering for the sons of Congregational and Baptist missionaries serving overseas, mainly in India, China, and Africa. The college recognizes the importance of a strong start in literacy and numeracy while being equally committed to inspiring young people to learn through creativity, imagination, and experience. Eltham’s programs are deliberately developed to integrate the essential skills of literacy and numeracy into a wide range of experiences, ensuring that learning is meaningful and constructive.
