OUR SCHOOL

Alice Miller School and Candlebark are small, innovative and high-performing schools located in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, surrounded by beautiful areas of bush and irresistible wineries. We are fully subscribed with about 400 students from Prep to 12, with waiting lists for most year levels. Our founder is the celebrated educator and author, the late John Marsden.

We value intellectual development, emotional growth, social skills, and artistic expression. Our school does what every school should do: walks the line between a liberal, inclusive, welcoming, good-humoured, sensible climate, and a challenging curriculum requiring a healthy work ethic and an authentic commitment.

We believe that experience is one of the best foundations for learning. This means we have an active camp and excursion program, ranging from bike camps to ski trips, from spending time at music festivals to art galleries, from canoe trips to hikes, from visiting touring exhibitions to attending writers' festivals. Quite a number of these trips are to other states or countries. We do all this while maintaining excellent academic rigour; our VCE results are amongst the best in the state.
