At the heart of Arise is a focus on student learning and capabilities, with Literacy foundations and skills fundamental to the growth and development of students. Arise Christian College is located within purpose-built modern facilities within the grounds of Maitland Christian School. We cater for students from Kindergarten – Year 12.
