The Only School in Emerald Offering Daycare to Year 12
At ECC, families don’t have to juggle multiple schools or manage different drop-offs. We are the only education provider in Emerald offering a continuous learning pathway from Daycare through Year 12—all on one campus, in a Christ-centred community.
Beyond academics, this continuity allows students to form deep, lasting friendships as they grow, learn, and thrive together. Many ECC students build lifelong bonds with their peers, creating a sense of belonging that stays with them long after graduation.
