Nurturing Hearts

Pacific Online provides flexible distance education for your family, led by a caring and dedicated team.

Our teachers are passionate about ensuring that every student is supported in achieving their goals, with a strong emphasis on spiritual and emotional wellbeing.

Community and relationship are important to us, and we work hard to build strong connections with students and their families.

Growing Minds

We recognise that learners follow different paths, and at Pacific Online, we tailor each student's learning journey to their specific needs.

Our interactive and dynamic programmes are built on Christian principles, and these values are embedded in our curriculum.

Our Experience Days provide students with hands-on learning as well as an opportunity to strengthen connections across the Pacific Online community.

Equipping Hands

We benefit from 35 years of Christian Education experience as a Pacific Group school, as well as an exceptional support network.

Pacific Online provides authentic learning opportunities that empower students to find and develop their God-given abilities.

Our mission is to equip our community to serve and make a positive difference in the world.
