Alternative secondary school

Our Box Hill Campus offers a supportive, inclusive environment for students in Years 7–10 who need more than a mainstream school can provide. As an alternative secondary school in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, we specialise in supporting students with ADHD, autism, anxiety, trauma, or those who have become disconnected from learning. Families looking for a private alternative school near them often find that Berengarra School provides the right balance of academic growth and wellbeing support.

Tailored curriculum

The curriculum is informed by the Victorian Curriculum and adapted to suit each student’s learning needs. Our goal is to create personalised educational opportunities within a nurturing, community-based setting. Students are encouraged to rediscover their confidence, re-engage with learning, and explore their strengths in a safe and flexible school environment.

Small class sizes

Classes are small, with up to 10 students learning together in a safe and supportive environment. Each class is led by a teacher and supported by an education support staff member, with additional support from our dedicated wellbeing team. This structure allows for close relationships, tailored learning and daily wellbeing check-ins.

Planning for teaching and learning follows a skills-based outline, focusing on literacy and numeracy as a priority. The inquiry skills of researching, analysing, evaluating, reflecting and communicating are woven into the curriculum to help students grow as independent, confident learners.

All classes are mixed-ability, and learning activities are carefully adapted to meet each student’s goals and capabilities, whether they are reconnecting with learning or building on existing strengths.
