Indie School is a registered and accredited non-government school catering to young people aged 15-18 who have faced challenges completing their studies in mainstream schools. Founded on Adult Education philosophies, Indie School prioritizes choice, independence, mutual respect, and accountability. With smaller class sizes, students have the opportunity to identify their strengths and improve areas of weakness, all while learning in a supportive environment with individualized learning plans tailored to their unique circumstances.
One of the key distinguishing factors of Indie School is its commitment to student wellbeing and welfare. The school provides a safe and inclusive setting where students feel valued and respected, fostering a sense of belonging and support. Through welfare and enrollment staff, Indie School offers confidential counseling, positive mental health approaches, and wellbeing programs aimed at enhancing students’ social, emotional, and physical wellbeing. By prioritizing student happiness and engagement, Indie School creates an environment conducive to learning and growth.
Indie School’s educational approach is underpinned by strength-based methodologies that recognize and celebrate the knowledge and skills that students bring to their learning journey. With over 10 years of experience in delivering Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs, Indie School collaborates with industry-experienced practitioners to offer students practical skills and nationally recognized qualifications. Through a focus on resilience, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence, Indie School empowers students to reach their full potential and thrive in their academic pursuits.
