The Upward Christian Prep School is preparing young women for a purpose, on and off the court.
Students live in Upward Christian Prep School’s secure, private dormitory, set amid bayside bushland and native wildlife. The residence is built for independence and responsibility—shared living with like-minded peers, clear routines, and staff oversight that helps students manage their time, study, and wellbeing.
Our modern amenities create a true collegiate environment: comfortable communal areas, dedicated study spaces, reliable internet, and structured house guidelines that mirror U.S. campus life. From arrival, students receive orientation and pastoral support to settle quickly and focus on growth—on court, in class, and in character.
At Upward Christian Prep School, dorm life is intentional: it replicates the USA collegiate experience so the jump to college feels familiar. And yes—you might spot a wallaby or koala on the walk to morning study.
Going from high school to an overseas program is a big jump—new country, new team, new expectations. Upward Christian Prep School lets you trial the college experience locally so you build the habits, confidence, and systems before you board a plane. You’ll live in our dorm, follow a college-style schedule, and still have the option to head home on weekends while you adjust.
What preparation looks like here:
Independence with support: shared living, time management, study blocks, recovery routines, and accountability—so “living away” isn’t a shock.
Academic & eligibility readiness: subject planning, study skills, and guidance on eligibility pathways so you stay recruitable.
College-style training load: court sessions, S&C, film, and recovery that mirror U.S. expectations—your body and mind adapt now, not later.
Life admin, sorted: budgeting, nutrition basics, sleep, communication, and social media hygiene—small habits that keep scholarships safe.
Family transition: you practice leaving; they practice letting go—without a 12,000 km learning curve.
Every athlete gets an Individual Success Plan—position fit, target-school list, highlight strategy, and an outreach calendar.
Our Career Counsellor leads coach communications, organizes touchpoints (email, calls, virtual visits), and keeps your file moving so the right programs actually see you.
No hype—just preparation that raises your ceiling and lowers your risk. We can’t promise a scholarship; we can promise you’ll be ready, visible, and competitive.
