"Aldro has its strengths and weaknesses"

We've had a mixed experience with Aldro. The school has some amazing facilities and the staff are great, but we've had some communication issues with the administration and the homework load can be quite heavy. Overall, it's a good school, but not perfect.

"Aldro is like a second family to us"

We moved to Aldro from the city and it's been a game-changer for our child. The pastoral care is excellent and the values of kindness, respect and integrity really shine through. The boarding facilities are fantastic and our child loves the sense of community.

"A wonderful school with a real sense of freedom"

We were blown away by the enthusiasm and passion of the staff during our open morning. The co-curricular program is excellent and our child loves the outdoor education lessons. We're so glad we made the decision to send our child to Aldro.

"Aldro helped our child grow into a confident young person"

We moved our child to Aldro from a different school and it was a great decision. The small class sizes and high aspirations really paid off and our child achieved great things. We're so grateful for the experiences they had during their time at Aldro.
