As well as providing a raft of community education and skill development programs for people of all ages, Mountain District Learning Centre established The Cottage Program for 14 to 18 year-olds as an alternative for young people who find mainstream school environment challenging or overwhelming.

The centre focuses on building language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy skills and has support systems for those who experience acute social anxiety and other related mental health challenges.

The Cottage Program has achieved a 95% success rate – out of 80 students enrolled over the past three years, 74 achieved a Year 10 alternative pass, eight went on to employment and 66 continued into further study.
