Keluarganya bergeser ke kota Jerilderie yang terletak di New South Wales tapi John menyediakan kesempatan pendidikan yang lebih baik, mereka pindah ke Melbourne pada tahun 1880 dan terdaftar di 'Scotch College'. John Monash menyelesaikan sekolahnya sekunder di Scotch College pada tahun 1881, dimana ia adalah sama Dux sekolah dan Dux dalam matematika dan bahasa Modern. Ia kemudian diterima di Fakultas Seni Universitas Melbourne dengan maksud menjadi seorang insinyur.

He was brilliant as a student and his family provided him with necessary opportunity which helped him pursue higher education. He earned degrees in various subjects such as law, arts and engineering. He even pursued a career as a civil engineer and earned a living. However, after his enrolment at the ‘Melbourne University Regiment’ a steep shift occurred in his career. The commencement of the World War marked the beginning of his military career. He did not receive much training in military affairs nor on warfare. Even then, he exerted immense leadership qualities as a military chief and organized his troops in such a way that proved beneficial. He even trained his troops and prepared them for the impending battles. His personality provided zeal to the army to audaciously combat with the enemies and fight till the end.His career in Civil Engineering was so many like in 1885 before completing his degree, he found employment on the new Princes Bridge and over the next two years assisted the contractor David Munro on this and other bridges in the Footscray, Moonee Ponds and Coburg areas. In April 1888 he was appointed to take charge of the Outer Circle railway works, an eastern suburban line from Oakleigh to Fairfield via Camberwell, for the contractors Graham and Wadick. The project was completed in January 1891 and Monash subsequently took up a position with the Harbor Trust where he remained for two and a half years. In 1904, he along with engineer J.T.N. Anderson began to work as contractors and consultants. But this collaboration ended the following year. He earned a membership at the ‘Institute of Civil Engineers’ located in London and was also appointed as the president of ‘Victorian Institute of Engineers’. He was also employed as a civil engineer with contractors and engaged in construction of railways and bridges. He also helped the contractors in legal matters. He was also employed at the ‘Melbourne Harbour Trust’ for some time.Following the end of the war, and the completion of his duties with the Australian Forces in Europe, Monash was reunited with his family in England. During this time he received honorary degrees at Oxford and Cambridge. His book 'The Australian Victories in France in 1918' was later submitted to the University of Melbourne as a thesis on the subject of engineering applied to modern warfare and on it he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Engineering, the first to be awarded by an Australian University.In these last years Monash was also closely associated with the building of Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. He was a member of the executive committee formed in 1921 and of the site sub-committee, and chairman of the assessors choosing the design. He supervised construction of the Shrine and the public appeal for funds, and in 1930 rewrote the inscription planned for the west wall himself. In 1929 the Institute of Engineers, Australia awarded Monash its highest honour, the Peter Nicol Russell Memorial Medal, and in June 1931 he was awarded the University of Melbourne's Kernot Memorial Medal for distinguished achievement in Australian engineering.
