The vision for Local Christian Hubs is rooted in our commitment to education that is deeply shaped by a Christian ethos and a recognition that the future of education is evolving. We believe it's time to reimagine the educational landscape and We see Christian hubs as lighthouses in cities.
Immanuel Online School (IOS) already offers a robust, comprehensive curriculum and a thriving online community. Our learning portal has courses with gradebooks, a tracking and detailed student portal as well as a parent portal for quick overviews that parents can access to monitor weekly progress. Hubs can be dynamic centers of learning and connection or simply places where Christian families and youth can socialise. Hubs can also serve as bridges—bringing together the flexibility of online education with the richness of in-person relationships. In some cases, they can even provide a fully integrated educational experience, grounded in Christian principles, that nurtures the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually (e.g a Christian Learning Centre).
In each case the hub itself is locally run and independent of Immanuel Online School. Local hubs can charge fees (to fund staff that may have oversight on particular days) or be run on a volunteer basis. You may also have a hub that is just seeking to connect Christian families (not specific to home education). We would be pleased to promote this for you.

With Hubs, we're not just creating learning spaces; we're looking to nurture communities, foster personal growth and inspire a new generation of lifelong learners grounded in the Christian faith. We believe they could be the future of Christian education and our prayers are with anyone pioneering in this area.
There are a number of individuals currently setting up local hubs. If you think this is something you would be interested in pioneering in your local area please do get in touch and we can connect you with others that have a similar vision.
Here are a few examples of how a local hub could work in practice. We have worked with and support a number of different setups, including Christian schools.
💡 Key takeaway: Each hub is flexible - some focus on multiple live lessons, some blend online and in-person, and some prioritise social and enrichment activities. All hubs have access to the IOS portal, tracking, and resources, ensuring both academic and spiritual growth.
