Kuyper Christian School

[EduCativ]

Kuyper Christian School is a non-denominational, Prep to Year 12 Christian school. Located in a bushland setting at Kurrajong. The school links with parents to provide an outstanding Christian education that prepares children for life as God's person in God's world. In 2017, Kuyper commenced Year 12 leading to the award of High School Certificate. We are very encouraged by the number of our students who will be pioneering this new initiative. This completes the final stage of the school's maturity. We look forward to the contribution these wonderful students will make to our school community and beyond. Kuyper Christian School is registered with the NSW Board of Studies under the Education Act 1990.

This means it has met all the Department's requirements for curriculum, facilities, and resources. Kuyper Christian School has enjoyed over 30 years of Christian Education in the beautiful foothill of Kurrajong in the Hawkesbury area. Kuyper Christian School commenced in 1982 as an outcome of a vision by Christian parents who desired Christian education for the children of all Christian parents.

The school commenced in 1982 with the vision. Kuyper Christian School is a community of families, teachers, and friends who acknowledge Christ as the source of truth and life as revealed in the Bible and His world. We serve Christ by supporting parents in their God-given responsibility to nurture their children. We recognize the worth and uniqueness of each individual and provide a cooperative environment that seeks to develop the whole child, so that each one may grow in their relationship with God and serve Him. Today this vision remains central to the life of the school.

Kuyper Christian School is a member of Christian Education National (CEN). CEN provides many resources for our teaching staff and holds yearly conferences with workshops that all our staff attend. Christian Education National provides and nurtures a strong sense of partnership for board members to strengthen their vision and to fulfill their governance obligations. Welcome to the Kuyper Christian School journey. I hope you find it informative and helpful in the decisions you may be making for your children’s schooling. Kuyper is a vibrant community run by a committed group of parents who are seeking to provide authentic Christian education for their children.

For over 30 years, Kuyper has sought to nurture children and equip them for living a life acknowledging God’s ownership of all things. This includes learning in and understanding His word. The understanding places Jesus in His rightful place as Lord of all and emphasizes the importance of understanding the saving grace of Jesus His Son. As our school motto says, we are “Learning in Gods’ World”, so we seek to acknowledge the Creator and Sustainer of life in all that we do.

As a member of Christian Education National, Kuyper is well supported and resourced. CEN is an Australia-wide organization that incorporates over 75 schools that hold similar beliefs and values to our own. At Kuyper Christian School we are committed to:

• Working in partnership with parents to care for and provide a rich and challenging learning environment for each child.
• Emphasizing the uniqueness of each child and the importance of developing their God-given gifts and talents encouraging them to serve Christ in all they do.
• Delivering a creative and challenging curriculum that is a faithful expression of a Bible-based Christian worldview.
• Developing a team of teachers who will encourage each other in delivering rigorous and innovative educational experiences for students.
• Developing a warm and encouraging community both within our school and outwards to our local community seeking to enrich the lives of others.

2017 opens with the excitement and new challenge of Senior classes at Kuyper Christian School with our pioneer Year 11 and 12 students. Our educational program draws on our dedicated teachers’ years of experience and the broad opportunities available for learning.
