As previously stated, Jubilee Christian College is an approved Non-State school by the Queensland Minister of Education, providing On-Campus education as well as courses of study by Distance Education.

When you or I normally think of Distance Education, we think of families on outback cattle properties. However, the majority of families who have chosen to enrol with Jubilee Christian College: Christian School of Distance Education live within easy distance from a local school.

These families are commonly referred to as Home Schooling families, and have previously been required by the Education Department to fill in a form every year to apply for Dispensation to Home School.

As of 2004, the legislatory requirements have changed, and Home Schooled students who are enrolled with an approved School of Distance Education no longer need to apply for Dispensation.

Should you wish to put together your own curriculum and home school independently, you would need to apply for Dispensation, fulfilling all the teaching and accountability requirements.

These regulations govern only those students who reside in Queensland.

Should your family reside outside Queensland, and you wish to enrol with Jubilee Christian College: Christian School of Distance Education, please contact the one of the following offices to complete your legal requirements.
