Distance Education Students Learn with Help from the World's Best
It’s school, but not as you know it
Distance Education School is a new phenomena in Australia. Primary and high school students ‘attend’ classes online, away from the school campus (which is located in Caboolture, an hour north of Brisbane).
Distance education offers students a truly unique alternative to the regular school campus experience.
This option has proven popular. The Australian Christian College Group is the largest independent distance education school in Australia.
Primary and high school students work with their peers throughout Queensland, sharing their opinions and reflecting on what they have learned in class discussions. They complete assessment tasks appropriate to the subjects, including exams, essays and multimedia projects.
Students also have the opportunity to build friendships with students their age and discuss common interests outside of school. The student community is vibrant, active, and positive with lots of talk on things like computer games, sports, TV shows, movies, books and much more.
Learn from anywhere
With distance education, students can learn from anywhere. It's portable, flexible and affordable.
From Brisbane to Birdsville, Distance Education allows your child more flexibility with their location and school times. With a goal to complete 5 days worth of coursework each week, they can balance their personal goals and priorities by adjusting their study times.
Having said that, students cannot fall behind. They're required to submit work following the due dates in their assessment schedule - just the same as regular school.
Distance education students are diverse
Distance education students are very diverse because distance education suits a wide variety of learners.
Some primary and high school students thrive online as they escape frustrations with distractions, commuting times, unstable friendships and wasted time during school hours. Others have survived bullying and appreciate the respite distance education provides. Students with learning disabilities such as ADHD, auditory processing problems, autism and dyslexia benefit from the self-paced nature of distance education. Some have chosen distance education while pursuing a sporting or performing arts career. Anxiety is sadly on the rise. Anxiety levels drop when learning from home.
Students who live in remote areas often don't have many local schools and boarding school is expensive. Distance education provides a legitimate option to these isolated families while building family connectedness.
Regardless of your situation, you will appreciate the support provided by a qualified teaching team and the ready-made learning program available through our Distance Education School.
Modelled on university online learning courses
We started by modelling our Distance Education School after universities that provide online learning for their students. If you're familiar with how universities do online learning you'll be familiar with how Distance Education works.
All courses have a clear starting point and end point. Students need to do the lessons in every subject per week to stay on track with their learning.
All courses use video content that is created by our school and also sourced from the best content providers on the internet. The students can pause, rewind and play a lesson until they understand the concept being taught. It's like replaying school!
Online discussions provide a great opportunity for students to engage with each other. Our teachers ask open-ended questions so students can think carefully about their response and learn to appreciate other students' point of view.
