The school has been progressively refurbished, with the most recent work costing $6.66 million and comprising new administration and staff areas, canteen, and four "learning centres".

Belmont High School is one of 37 Victorian Government secondary schools providing a Select Entry Accelerated Learning Programme to address the learning needs of their gifted and high potential students. This allows these students to begin VCE subjects in Year 9 and complete school a year earlier if they wish.
