CEM's History

CEM's journey since launching in 2003

Christian Education Ministries (CEM) was started in April 2003 by a small but committed group of Christians with a heart for Christian Education. In fact, CEM originally planned to focus on servicing the home schooling market in Australia

God had other plans. In the years following CEM's commencement, the Board was approached to take on a struggling Christian school, then another and another. Not wanting to close doors which the Board were convinced God had opened, they stepped out in faith and took ownership of the schools.

Over the next 10 years God continued to open doors in this way and the Board continued to humbly submit to His plan for CEM.
