Parents were told at a meeting last night that the Colmont School in Kilmore, just north of Melbourne, would no longer be operating for its students in Year 3 to Year 10 from Friday.
The families were told the school had gone into administration, and that administrators would try to keep it open for Year 11 and 12 students for as long as possible.
An email was sent to parents advising that the school had been placed into administration by the school board hours earlier.
"We understand that this will be unexpected and distressing news for your family," the email read.
Parents have taken to social media to express their concern.
"Devastated tonight to learn that my kids' school has gone into administration and that it will close in 2 days," one has posted.
"WTF are we meant to do now? The school was working out so amazing for both of them. It's going to be a tough few days."
The private school is an International Baccalaureate World School, and has students who board as well as day students.
It was previously known as the Kilmore International School.
Premier Daniel Andrews has said his government will do anything it can to support the school, but explained the government's ability to help would likely be limited due to the school being private.
"But if there's anything we can do to support those parents," he said.
"We're ready and willing."
