SPARROWS HI
SPARROWS HI has been established to serve Christian families who have chosen home education and who desire additional opportunities for discipleship, friendship, mentoring, creative expression and community engagement for their young people. Parents remain responsible for their child's home education registration, educational program and compliance with Western Australian home education requirements. SPARROWS HI functions as a support and enrichment program that complements the broader home education journey.

SPARROWS HI supports Christian homeschool families with a Christ-centred community where young people grow in faith, character, creativity, leadership and purpose. We walk alongside parents rather than replace them, through discipleship, mentoring, creative learning and genuine friendship. We believe every young person is made in the image of God, with gifts to discover and a purpose to walk into, and we're here to help them flourish spiritually, socially, creatively and personally.
Take a closer look at who we are, what we believe, and the team who make SPARROWS HI what it is.
At SPARROWS HI, we believe young people are made for more than academic success. They're made in the image of God, to know Him, follow Jesus, grow in Christlike character, discover their gifts and serve others faithfully within their homes, churches, communities and future vocations. Our hope is to see students become mature disciples of Jesus, equipped to live with wisdom, conviction, creativity, compassion and purpose.
SPARROWS HI is built on the conviction that discipleship is not merely the transfer of information, but the formation of the whole person. We create an environment where young people grow in faith, character, creativity, leadership and purpose through meaningful relationships, practical opportunities, Christian community and intentional mentoring. As image-bearers, students are called not only to learn, but to create, serve, lead and take part in God's work in the world. Our desire is to help them discover the gifts God has entrusted to them, develop those gifts faithfully, and gain a growing awareness of His calling on their lives.
SPARROWS HI is fully funded, with attendance restricted to students who have been awarded a SPARROWS HI Scholarship. Admission is available only through acceptance into one of the scholarships offered for a given intake year, with places awarded on a quota basis determined ahead of each annual intake.The SPARROWS HI Scholarship Committee assesses applicants on their capacity to meet the scholarship criteria, the overall merit of their application, and their suitability for the places available. The Committee's decision is final. As SPARROWS HI exists primarily to support the discipleship, formation and development of young Christians, scholarship applications take into account not only educational and personal factors, but also the applicant's desire to know and follow Jesus, grow in Christian character, and participate in a Christ-centred community.
SPARROWS HI students remain registered home-educated learners, with dedicated weekly time set aside to work on their homeschool studies in a supportive, supervised environment. Beyond study time, students take part in a rich mix of discipleship, creative, physical and practical experiences, from worship, Bible teaching and apologetics to music, drama and design. They grow as leaders through mentoring and service, build healthy habits through outdoor education and fitness, and develop real-world skills like budgeting, cooking and digital responsibility. They're also equipped to navigate relationships and community, steward their finances and gifts, engage media with discernment, and explore how their own gifts connect to a life of purpose. Across every area of the program, students grow in faith, character, creativity, leadership and purpose, all within a supportive, Christ-centred community.
