A parent-controlled school is a type of private school in which significant power is vested in the parents of students, usually through an association. Many parent-controlled schools are Christian schools, but do not usually have a denominational affiliation.
In Australia, the first Christian parent-controlled school was Calvin Christian School in Kingston, Tasmania, established in 1962. Christian Education National (formerly Christian Parent Controlled Schools) represents eighty such schools around the country.Christian Education National
Christian parent-controlled schools are driven by a belief that parents have been "given a responsibility by God for their children's upbringing and education."
