Great news for families in Lucas, with plans unveiled for a new independent school that will offer an affordable alternative to traditional private education.

AngliSchools' Ascension Anglican School is planned to open on Cuthberts Road, providing a new prep-to-Year 12 education pathway for the growing western corridor.

The school has plans to open for primary students in 2029 and expand gradually, adding a new year level each year. This staged approach will see the school develop into a full Prep to Year 12 campus, with Year 7 expected to be introduced in 2030.

AngliSchools will hold its first information session for prospective families of the Ballarat school on September 15.
