What we offer

Individual Support

VISII offers one of the smallest learning groups in Victoria, cultivating a close-knit community and allowing for highly individualized learning. A high teacher to student ratio means that your learner will be guaranteed the time and support they need to thrive.

Fantastic Facilities

From multiple maker spaces to quiet rooms, VISII’s open-plan, flexible learning space supports a wide variety of interests and learning styles.

Community Engagement

At VISII we believe education shouldn’t be limited to the classroom space. We offer a biweekly outdoor program, multiple field trips throughout the year, and frequently invite guest speakers from the community to share their expertise.

Holistic Education

Highlighting a learner’s strengths and tailoring our support to their individual needs means that learners are empowered to create meaningful success and cultivate a lifelong love of learning.

The teachers, the students, the community, and the approach have all completely changed her attitude toward school and learning, and we’ve never seen her happier. She’s found her place and her people, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
