Why Emmaus?

Grounded in Christ
At Emmaus Christian College, our Christian faith underpins everything we do, shaping our teaching methods, pastoral care and behaviour management. Students deepen their faith through Home Groups, assemblies, devotions and Christian Studies. Experience an environment where your child’s spiritual growth is as important as their academic achievements.
A nurturing, caring community
Secondary students are part of a close-knit community that values meaningful relationships, belonging and identity. Our dedicated and prayerful teachers foster a strong community spirit within each Home Group, so your child feels seen, heard and valued. Recognising the significant challenges during the transition from childhood to adulthood, the Secondary Wellbeing team provide programs and counselling to support your child’s complete wellbeing.
Comprehensive subject choices and pathway options
We are dedicated to giving students the best opportunities, whether they’re aiming for tertiary study or work readiness. Our dedicated staff are passionate about finding the best career pathway options for your child and partnering with them through the journey. Come and discover the wide range of subject offerings at Emmaus.
High academic performance
Our Year 12 results over the past 5-10 years consistently align with our literacy and numeracy NAPLAN results across Years 3, 5, 7, and 9, where Emmaus students have outperformed state averages by 8.5%. We are ranked in the Top 10 Secondary schools as published by Better Education, and on average, 30% of our Year 12 students score in the top 10% of South Australia
