Mount Alexander College has a wide range of electives for students to choose from. They are able to select electives from Entry Level (Year 7) all the way through to Graduate (Years 11 and 12).
All students are guided in their subject choice through course counselling, allowing them to plan their learning pathway.
Diversity in learning is embraced at Mount Alexander College, and students are not forced into a VCE pathway if this isn't the right choice for them. For these students, other options including VCAL are offered to them.
