The jump from high school to college overseas is huge—new country, team, and expectations. Upward Christian Prep bridges that gap by letting you trial college life at home first. Students have the option to live in our dorms, follow a college-style schedule, and ease into independence with the option to go home on weekends.
What preparation looks like:
Independence with support: shared living, structure, accountability, and recovery routines.
Life admin, sorted: budgeting, nutrition, sleep, communication, and social media discipline.
Family transition: you practice leaving; they practice letting go—minus the 12,000 km shock.
Every athlete gets an Individual Success Plan—position fit, target schools, highlight strategy, and coach outreach schedule—guided by our Career Counsellor, who keeps your file active and visible to the right programs.
No hype. Just preparation that builds confidence, visibility, and readiness for the next level.
Students have the option to live in our secure bayside dormitory—shared, structured, and designed for independence. With modern amenities, study spaces, reliable internet, and supportive staff, it mirrors U.S. college life and helps students manage time, study, and wellbeing. From day one, orientation and pastoral care ensure they settle in and grow—on court, in class, and in character. And yes, wallabies and koalas are part of the campus vibe.
