Emmaus Christian College, a Reception to Year 12 school, is a multi-denominational Christian school providing high quality education in an environment of grace, mercy and encouragement where Jesus Christ is served and worshipped as Lord.
Our Vision is 'Inspiring Hearts, Inspiring Minds'.
Our Mission is to inspire young people by providing excellence in education within a caring Christian community.
Our Values are Faith - Nurturing a Christ-centred faith and lifestyle; Learning - Cultivating a lifelong love of authentic learning; Community - Fostering authentic Godly relationships; Service - Encouraging acts of service at school and in the wider community.
Christian schooling is an extension of the education Christian parents provide for their children in the home. While recognising that the home has the primary responsibility for the education of children, we see that the influence of Christian teachers, peers and curricula is significant in helping children develop as committed Christians and responsible, effective members of society. We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God and is the standard by which all ideologies, philosophies and theologies are to be evaluated. Our education program seeks to be Christ-centred, in accord with Biblical truths and principles, academically sound, and effective in helping individuals to serve God and others.
The College is structured into three sub-schools. Each sub-school has established a unique identity with programs designed to best meet the needs and developmental characteristics of our students as they move through the different stages of their schooling.
In Primary School (Reception to Year 6) our focus is on Literacy and Numeracy. Teachers focus on providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where each child is encouraged to develop their potential. A broad and engaging curriculum is provided to complement the Literacy and Numeracy foundation.
In Middle School, students experience a program designed to best meet the needs of young people entering and passing through their adolescent years. Pastoral care is a priority. Students study a broad curriculum helping them to make informed decisions about their goals and plans for Senior School education, employment and post school options.
At Senior School we are committed to supporting students in these crucial final years and giving them the best opportunity to achieve their potential. A wide range of subject choices is available for students to qualify for the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE) and to enable them to pursue tertiary education, vocational training, or a position in the workforce. Links with Vocation Trainers enable the College to provide a variety of quality Vocational Education Training (VET) courses. An extensive ongoing program of facilities improvement has provided the College community with access to high quality learning areas to complement the excellent programs provided by the College.
