Alice Miller School

School / Last updated 2 years ago

Candlebark and Alice Miller School were founded by educationalist and writer, John Marsden, opening in 2005 and 2016 respectively. The schools prioritise first-hand experiences and engage with an active camp, excursion and sleepover program. Recognising the growing importance and legitimacy of the arts in our society, the schools place a strong premium on creative subjects, with equal importance given to a robust and rigorous academic program.

Alice Miller School opened in 2016. The school is now at full capacity with waiting lists for most year levels. It is a Year 7-12 sibling-school to Candlebark School near Romsey.

The first and most important rule at Alice Miller and Candlebark is “no excluding”, which underscores the importance the school attaches to generosity, tolerance and courtesy.

Alice Miller builds on Candlebark’s success by adopting the same approach to education, but also by dedicating itself passionately to the development of students’ artistic abilities. The school recognises the growing importance and legitimacy of the arts in our society, and is strongly aligned with the views of educators like Sir Ken Robinson on the value of creativity in individual lives. It acknowledges the capacity of artistic expression to contribute to a sense of wellness, fulfilment and joy – and to enhance career prospects in the 21st century.

Alice Miller is committed with equal strength to its academic program. From the first announcements of the school’s establishment, applications from teachers around the world began to arrive. High-powered, creative, dedicated teachers with a dynamic approach to the best interests of their students are fundamental to Alice Miller’s educational philosophy.
