homeschooling for International Students

We have a large number of students all over the world gaining an Australian Education. You do not need to be an Australian citizen to enrol with Euka.
When joining with us you will not only receive an excellent educational program that can be tailored to your child’s needs, but all the support you might want. We provide all the documentation needed to prove you are covering the full Australian curriculum. Your child will receive a half yearly, and full year reports, and an Official Complete Education Australia Grade Certificate at the completion of each Grade. International students do not need to register with the Department of Education in Australia.
With over 7000 students, we are here to help every step of the way. The Euka program provides every opportunity to learn new concepts in a fun, hands on, practical way. We also include access to two online programs (Mathletics, for Foundation – Grade 10, and Literacy Planet, for Clever Kids – Grade 6), free of charge with your program. Giving you the very best on online learning, teamed with hands on lessons. Ensuring the program is a great fit for your child by providing revision, or extension, is vital to us. The program is fully adaptable, allowing us to provide individual subjects at alternative levels to suit the child’s ability. Best of all, the program is written by teachers allowing you to take on the role of learning support, rather than having to know it all. Our future learning specialists are also here to help at any time.
