In 2011, the VCE results table reported by The Age newspaper ranked Huntingtower the top co-educational school in the state of Victoria, and second overall. Huntingtower is consistently ranked in the top 10 Coeducational schools in Victoria.
Huntingtower's global outreach is extensive and includes support for schools in Kenya, The Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa. Students have many opportunities to travel internationally for community service activities and also academic experiences.
Huntingtower commenced as a co-educational boarding school in February, 1927 making it Victoria’s oldest co-educational boarding school. The school was originally a co-educational school for children from Christian Science families. Its first home was in Huntingtower Road, Armadale. During the next two decades, the school expanded to a point where it was seen as necessary to sell the Huntingtower Road property and move to its present site in Mount Waverley. The present campus was opened in 1954.
In 1974, the school decided to open its doors to all faiths and is now a school with a Christian Science foundation but has a multi-denominational student body. It shares Christian Science principles and ideas but does not teach religion.
