Christian schools are wonderful faith-filled communities, where children are cared for and thrive.
Activists are working tirelessly to misrepresent Christian schools and stop them from influencing the next generation for Christ.
They will not stop. They oppose biblical truth.
People like you who are, or have been, the beneficiaries of Christian schooling should speak up now to defend Christian schools. If you don’t, the mission of Christian schools could be thwarted. They may even be shut down.
You have the right to choose an education for your child that reflects your Christian beliefs. This is a key part of the right to freedom of religion that is enshrined in international law.
If you, your child, or grandchild has had a positive experience at a Christian school – recently or in the past – please share a few words to say so.
Thank you for standing up for our Christian schools!

Our family decided on Christian education for our children as we felt strongly that we wanted their school environment to echo our own deeply held values and Christian beliefs. We have had an absolutely excellent experience with this school, as staff have modelled these values to our children in an exemplary manner, particularly when our son was diagnosed with Leukaemia. Staff went over and above to support our family by way of a generous monetary donation, the result of a large scale collection including from staff members we hadn’t even personally met. We were sent gifts of toys from the school straight to our son’s hospital bed. Our son’s teachers regularly bought us groceries and frozen meals with their own money to make life easier for us through a very difficult season. We received ongoing prayer and emotional support from staff who modelled the Christian values of caring for the sick and giving generously of their time, energy and love to support those in need.
My four children went to a Christian school where they were nurtured and educated within a caring community which instilled character building values. They all did well, all went through universities and have all married and now have children of their own.
"Educating for Eternity" is the school's motto, and the importance of what this means is the main reason I chose for my son to be educated in a Christian environment. Lessons extend beyond the confines of classrooms and curriculum. Some of the more valuable things he has learnt at school have been imparted through the care shown to him in sometimes "challenging social situations". It takes a village to raise a child, and the nurturing and character-building connections between staff and students I see at our school are why we love our Christian school!❤
Attending a Christian school was such a gift, I had so much travel and I know my parents sacrificed a lot to allow me to attend but it was so worth it. I know I would have made vastly different life choices and suffered significant mental health issues if I had remained in the local state school. I am so grateful for the social environment, teachers and academics.
A school helping children grow in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ and God's plan for mankind. Children are encouraged - if able to - to progress academically - above grade level - not held back. Great to see what former students have achieved both in their higher education and careers as responsible community members.
