Learning in a Christian Environment

Barker College is an Anglican School and welcomes students from a variety of Christian denominations and other faith traditions.

Barker’s educational philosophy is grounded in the precepts of the Christian gospel and in Christian teaching, and Christian values undergird all that we do. The School strives to offer each student the opportunity to come to a closer understanding of the Christian faith, and the teaching staff draw upon their personal and professional qualities in ways which provide our young people with a constant example of Christian living.

The School expects that parents, who may not necessarily themselves share the Christian faith, will nonetheless encourage their sons and daughters to approach Christian teaching and Christian precepts receptively and openly, and that they will attend special family worship services each year with their sons and daughters.
