Euka’s approach to student assessment
At Euka, in place of outdated exams, we use a variety of assessment models designed to suit different learning styles. Our assessment models include: Written Papers, Open-Book Tests, Projects and Portfolios. Each assessment prioritises growth, development and mastery of subjects over simply assigning grades.
Each pathway provides students with access to all assessments and marking rubrics, which they can complete at their own pace.
- Assessed / University Pathway: Students can submit their assessments for Euka teachers to mark, receiving constructive feedback on strengths and areas of improvement. Unlike traditional school, they can revise and resubmit their work based on feedback, allowing continuous improvement towards their desired grade.
- Assessment-free Pathway: Students have access to marking rubrics, allowing students and parents to self-evaluate their work, providing insights on how to improve and progress.
How does Euka help secure placement with an Australian university?
After completing Grade 12, students who have pursued the Assessed/University Pathway receive their final results and an academic transcript, along with support for direct entry into one of our prestigious university partners.
Euka collaborates with universities to ensure students meet the necessary prerequisites for their desired pathway. Additionally, students have the opportunity to complete a Diploma in their first year before moving directly into the second year of their degree, providing useful insight into which path they’d like to pursue.
Our graduates are fully supported through each stage by Euka’s dedicated support team, ensuring a smooth transition to university life.
Why the Euka university pathway is better than receiving an ATAR
The Euka University Pathway offers a flexible and comprehensive alternative to the traditional ATAR-based system, providing students with greater opportunities. Here’s why it stands out:
Guaranteed University Placement and Academic Transcript: Guaranteed university placement without relying on, or being limited by ATAR scores. Students receive an academic transcript to apply to any of our university partners.
Assessments Aligned with University & Real-world Expectations: Euka’s assessments mirror real-world expectations, focusing on continuous improvement and critical thinking. Students receive feedback to refine their work, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Personalised Support: Graduating students transition into a university Diploma program, where they are part of a smaller cohort and receive personalised support from their own academic tutor. This is unlike mainstream first-year students who often attend lectures with over 200 peers.
Time to Specialise: Unlike an ATAR and first-year degree, the Diploma pathway gives students a full year to explore subjects, easing career pressure and helping them choose a path aligned with their goals.
Students who have completed our assessed course in year 11 and 12 have exclusive pathways to some of Australia’s leading Universities

A lot of people make assumptions about Homeschooling that they’re not able to communicate with peers because they’re not at school. But I’ve found I made better friendships, and more friendships now than at school through extra-curricular activities.

Homeschooling helped Brent, allowing him to save on school fees and be closer to his son. “It’s saving me thousands of dollars in school fees. I love teaching my son some real-life business skills that he simply wouldn’t get in a mainstream school, and we also get to spend a lot of quality time together.”
