Korowa Anglican Girls' School is an independent, Anglican, day school for girls, located in Glen Iris, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Established in Malvern in 1890, Korowa is a non-selective school and currently caters for approximately 700 students, ranging from the Early Learning Centre (three- and four-year-olds) to Year 12s completing the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).
The school is a member of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPHSA), the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV), the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA), and a founding member of Girls Sport Victoria (GSV).
Korowa Anglican Girls' School was established in 1890, first in two houses in Valetta Street, Malvern and then in an old house in Pine Grove. In 1900 the school moved again, this time to a two storey house in Wattletree Road. The school was registered as "School No.5" in 1906.
Korowa relocated to its current site in Glen Iris in 1914. The residence was the former property of the Hon. William Knox, MHR, who named the home 'Ranfurlie' - which is now the name of the Crescent in which the school is located. The school was officially named Corowa in 1899, but later changed to Korowa to avoid confusion with the township of Corowa in 1990. From 1910 to 1918 Korowa was a Presbyterian school for girls', then in 1919 was incorporated by the diocesan authorities as a Church of England grammar school.
