Belmont Christian College

Adelaide Schools introduces Belmont Christian College in Belmont North, for all your education and learning needs.

The college is located on the site of the old John Darling Colliery which provides a unique environment for the growth and positive development of young people in the college. The college is surrounded with bush on three sides, reminding us of the beauty of God’s creation whenever we walk around the college.

The college is structured so there is interaction between students of all ages, with the best use made of available facilities. The beautiful heritage buildings have been refurbished to provide modern classrooms and specialist rooms for the students. The college has a commitment to introduce new and innovative technologies and to train staff in new areas to maximise the educational advantage of our students in all aspects of learning.

We believe that God has individually gifted each student and it is our role as Christian educators to provide an environment for the development of their gifts, so that they can reach their full personal potential. We attempt to cater for the overall gift development of each student: academic, spiritual, social, emotional and physical. Even though levels of giftedness vary, all students are encouraged to reach their potential and work to the best of their ability in all they do. Extra remedial tuition is offered to those students who require special assistance. The aim of this is to integrate children back into a classroom setting where they can cope with the level of work being covered.

We also recognise that some students are endowed with additional gifts by God that need to be developed over and above normal classroom activities. The college does this by giving additional class work and opportunity for withdrawal from the classroom to give extra tuition in small groups.

The teaching staff come from a wide variety of church backgrounds and professional experience. All staff share a sense of God’s calling over their lives and a willingness to share their gifts and love of children in the Christian school setting.

The Bible also forms the basis for us in re-evaluating and framing educational philosophy. Staff are given every opportunity to participate in state run and Christian based inservice courses, as we endeavour to adopt a theory of education that embodies biblical truth.

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Revelations 4:11
