🇦🇺 Australian Curriculum v9 · Prep to Year 12 · built for home educators
A ParkSyde Life service · Rockhampton, Queensland & online everywhere · designed by a deputy-principal-led team of psychologists, teachers and social workers — meet them
Your home school, beautifully taught.
ParkSyde Education is a complete online school for homeschooling families — every lesson built from the learning sciences, every unit aligned to state and national outcomes, and every bit of your compliance paperwork made painless.
Many home educators can claim $4,000+ a year — and don't know it.
The Assistance for Isolated Children scheme pays a non-taxable allowance when a child can't attend a local school — distance, disability, medical or additional needs. Our registered psychologists provide the professional documentation claims need, as part of your included consultation.
Real learning, not busywork
Explicit teaching with worked examples, practice with fading hints, instant feedback, and guided exploration — the full arc of how children actually learn, in every single lesson.
Outcomes covered, evidence sorted
Every unit is mapped to Australian Curriculum v9 content descriptions, and your child's work builds a Queensland HEU-ready evidence trail automatically as they learn.
Made for your child, where you live
A strengths profile — eight ways of being smart, arts pathways included — plus lessons that adapt their examples to your state and town. Purpose first, always.
Real humans when it matters
One professional consultation each term is included: registered teachers, counsellors and psychologists, one click away in the Support Hub.
Eight learning areas, one coherent school
From Prep phonics to Year 12 pathways — the whole Australian Curriculum, taught the ParkSyde way.
English
Reading, writing, speaking and listening — built on systematic phonics in the early years and rich literature all the way through.
Mathematics
Number, algebra, measurement, space, statistics and probability — taught concretely first, with daily review and real problem solving.
Science
Biological, chemical, physical and Earth & space sciences, with hands-on investigations that build genuine science inquiry skills.
Humanities and Social Sciences
History, geography, civics and economics — understanding people, places, the past, and how communities work.
Health and Physical Education
Movement, personal and social capability, safety and wellbeing — designed for backyards, parks and community sport.
The Arts
Visual arts, music, drama, dance and media arts — making and responding, with materials found at home.
Technologies
Digital technologies and design & technologies — computational thinking, coding, and designed solutions to real problems.
Languages
Additional languages with a communicative, culture-rich approach (initial offering in development).
