Education in Beaumaris has a long history, beginning in the mid-1800s with elementary schooling provided by nearby “common schools.” In 1855, Frederick and Fanny Meeres established a private single-room wooden school near Cheltenham Railway Station, initially called the Beaumaris Wesleyan School. By 1863, the school became public under the National Schools Board, later renamed Beaumaris Common School No. 84 in 1872 when relocated to Crown Land on Charman Road, Cheltenham. Construction of a brick school building at this site was completed in 1877. The school retained the name State School No. 84 Cheltenham from 1885 onwards.

As Beaumaris’ population grew, the need for a local school became apparent. In May 1915, Beaumaris State School (No. 3899) opened in a 432-square-metre brick-and-timber hall between Martin Street and Bodley Street, accommodating 41 pupils. The first teacher was Mrs. Fairlie Taylor. By 1917, the school relocated to its current site on Dalgetty Road to cater for a growing student population. In 2024, the school was central to an inquiry into historical child sexual abuse offences from the 1960s and 1970s. As of 2025, Principal David Tapp leads an enrolment of 568 students, with 7 percent speaking English as an additional language.

Beaumaris North Primary School opened in February 1959 with 300 students in eight classrooms. The school expanded in the early 1960s and again in 2009 with a $3 million Senior Learning Centre funded by the federal Building Education Revolution program and a $200,000 refurbishment under the National School Pride initiative. In 2025, Principal Sherril Duffy oversaw 492 students, with 3 percent having English as an additional language.

Secondary education in Beaumaris began with Beaumaris High School, opened in 1958. From 1988 to 2015, it operated as the Beaumaris Campus of Sandringham College for Years 7–10. In January 2018, a new Beaumaris Secondary College catering to Years 7–12 opened at the corner of Reserve Road and Balcombe Road, with Stephen Bourbon as principal in 2025.

Non-government education has also played a role in the suburb’s development. Stella Maris Primary School, a Roman Catholic institution established in 1956 on Oak Street, counts notable alumni including Victorian MP Brad Rowswell.

From its earliest common school to contemporary primary and secondary colleges, Beaumaris’ educational institutions reflect over 150 years of growth, community commitment, and evolving learning needs in the suburb.
