The school's language program is delivered through face-to-face teaching in language Centres across the state and through Distance Education mode. The school had its beginnings in 1935 when it started Saturday classes at MacRobertson Girls' High School for pupils who desired to learn modern languages. The first classes offered were in Italian and Japanese. Currently the VSL offers over 40 languages and EAL around Victoria to 13,000 students in face-to-face classes and 1400 students in distance education.
The VSL is a state wide provider of languages and provides language education across all three educational sectors (government, independent and catholic). There are multiple campuses across Victoria in both metropolitan and country areas. High level management is required to achieve consistent outcomes. In addition to the face to face classes and distance education provision, the school also offers EAL virtually for students located in rural and remote areas.
The Head Office is currently based in Thornbury, however will relocate to Collingwood early in 2025.
