Alice Miller is a secondary school opening in 2016 with between sixty and one
hundred students. It will begin with Years 7 to 11, and continue to Year 12 in 2017.
By 2020 it is expected to be at its capacity of two hundred students.
Alice Miller is a sibling-school to Candlebark School near Romsey.
Founded in 2006, Candlebark promotes:
• firsthand experiences as the best basis for learning
• creativity and inner strength as vital foundation stones for adulthood
• a willingness to engage with the world in a brave and open way, as a
prerequisite for a fulfilled life.
Candlebark graduates have been conspicuously successful academically and
socially at other schools and universities, are frequently chosen for leadership roles,
and are often recognised for their maturity, tolerance and inclusive attitudes.
We expect to see these strengths develop also in Alice Miller students.
The first and most important rule at Candlebark is “no excluding”, which concisely
expresses the importance the school attaches to generosity, tolerance and courtesy.
Alice Miller seeks to build on Candlebark’s success by adopting the same approach
to education, but also by dedicating itself passionately to the development of
students’ artistic abilities.
The school recognises the growing importance and
legitimacy of the arts in our society, and is strongly aligned with the views of
educators like Sir Ken Robinson on the value of creativity in individual lives. It
acknowledges the capacity of artistic expression to contribute to a sense of wellness,
fulfilment and joy – and to massively enhance career prospects in the 21st century.
Alice Miller will commit with equal strength to its academic program.
From the first
announcements of the school’s establishment, applications from teachers around the
world began to arrive. High-powered, creative, dedicated teachers with a dynamic
approach to the best interests of their students are fundamental to Alice Miller’s
educational philosophy.
