Inclusive, Innovative & Individualised
“Arcadia College utilises the Advantage Thinking philosophy that promotes a student’s strengths, rather than being defined by their deficits. It promotes working towards people’s aspirations and dreams as well as meeting their educational needs."

Words From Our Community

My daughter started at Arcadia College in year 10, after 3 terms of total disengagement from school due to crippling anxiety. Now completing year 12 (and a pathway to university course). her attendance is above 90%, her participation in class & extra curricular activities is amazing, but most importantly the smile on her face at the end of the day is priceless. Thank you to all the amazing staff @Arcadia College for your support, knowledge and kindness, you have made our futures much brighter.
