Canberra Christian School has become the first school in the Australian Capital Territory and the first Adventist school in Australia approved to deliver online learning, with enrolments now open for Term 3, 2026. The program, designed for students from kindergarten to year 6, offers a full, structured curriculum supported by experienced, registered teachers.
Historic Milestone for Online Education
Principal Bree Hills described the approval as a significant milestone. "Being the first school in the ACT and also the first Adventist school in Australia approved to deliver education online is a real milestone, but for us it is about access," she said. "It means families who could never reach us before can now be part of our school community."
The online program is built on the same foundations that have made Canberra Christian School a trusted choice for families for many years, including proven teaching standards and a dedicated team. Students benefit from personalised learning plans, regular feedback, and meaningful connections with teachers and classmates, all while learning at their own pace.
Flexibility for Regional and Travelling Families
The model is particularly suited to families who travel, live in regional or remote areas, or seek a calmer, more individualised alternative to the traditional classroom. Parents gain greater flexibility and clearer visibility over their child's progress without compromising academic rigour or wellbeing. "For a lot of families, the flexibility is the game changer. Whether they travel, live regionally, or simply learn better at home, our online program meets them where they are without ever lowering the bar," Dr Hills said.
Personalised Learning at the Core
The school's philosophy of knowing each child as an individual carries directly into the online classroom. Small group sizes, responsive teaching, and genuine teacher-student relationships remain central. "What I am most proud of is that the things that have always made CCS special — the care, the high standards, the strong relationships — translate beautifully into the online space," Dr Hills added.
For more than a decade, Canberra Christian School has focused on individualised attention, and the online program extends that reach without diluting the approach. The program is backed by the school's strong reputation and a dedicated team committed to every learner.
