About the School

Berengarra School is an independent, not-for-profit, co-educational secondary school for students who have had significant difficulties in mainstream education settings. All students who attend Berengarra School have social and/or emotional disability, which has contributed to their difficulties remaining engaged in education. Berengarra School creates a safe, inclusive, and empowering learning environment for young people, offering innovative programs to engage young people and meet their individual needs in a stimulating, non-judgmental learning environment delivered by specialist staff.

Berengarra School’s values of Hope, Belonging, Nurturing and Success are at the core of everything we do. The Berengarra BELONG Model informs our practice by facilitating a shared sense of purpose and responsibility. It emphasises relational safety, breaks down traditional barriers to education, supports inclusive learning, and treats each student as a unique individual. This approach gives every young person the confidence and independence to navigate their journey through school and beyond.

Berengarra School consists of the Box Hill Campus with 50 Year 7-10 students studying the Victorian Curriculum and the Chadstone Campus with 30 Year 11-12 students, where the Victorian Pathways certificate (VPC) and VCE Vocational Major (VM) are delivered.
