The Avenue School is an Independent Senior Secondary Specialist School commencing operations in January 2025. The School, located in Ferntree Gully, has been established to provide an alternative education for young people who have an experience of anxiety disorders and who have found attending school to be challenging.

Mountain District Learning Centre (MDLC) created the new school to support the continuing education of young people, many of whom have been attending MDLC’s Cottage Program as an alternative to mainstream school.

The Avenue School will deliver the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) in an environment of small classes and high levels of support.
