Alta-1

Founded in 2007, Alta-1 is a multi-sited school that provides an alternative education and community services program designed to engage community resources and groups to train, support and equip participants who are marginalized by mainstream education. By addressing their socio-emotional and spiritual needs in a supportive community setting, participants receive educational services and workplace learning options that can assist them to achieve high school graduation as well as receive training from a number of sources, opening opportunities for employment and further education.

Geared towards students at educational and emotional risk in the 15 to 19 year age bracket, the Alta-1 educational program has a recovery as distinct from a remedial emphasis, facilitating the socio-emotional-spiritual developmental process.

Currently one site in the northern Perth suburb of Landsdale is fully operational with a further two being developed in Clarkson and Malaga.
