The College caters to students from Preparatory through to Year 12 and there is also an affiliated on-campus kindergarten, Little e's.[2] Emmanuel College is privately owned and operated and is registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission as a not-for-profit corporation.[3] History and campus developmentEmmanuel College was officially opened on 30 January 1984.[4] Initially, the College catered only for high school students in Years 8 and 9, with higher years added in subsequent years. In January 1989 a primary school opened with more than 150 students. In the early years, staff and students were housed in mobile structures, but a construction program in the following decade replaced all the temporary structures with permanent ones.[5] Major projects included the completion of the administration building,[6] the library, information technology centres and an aquatic centre featuring a 25-metre swimming pool and an enclosed, modern Learn-to-Swim pool facility. Later structures included a Performing Arts centre, a sports building featuring a gymnasium,[7] a multi-purpose basketball and tennis court complex, an Early Years (Prep – Year 3) building with play area,[8] and an extension and renovation of the hospitality building.[9] In 2007 a new science block was built comprising laboratories, offices and general classrooms.[10] The previous science block was transformed into business classrooms as well as a Film and TV centre. All the school's rooms are air-conditioned and most of the classrooms have interactive whiteboards.[11] Some classrooms have already had the interactive whiteboards upgraded to commboxes.[12]{{failed verification|date=July 2018}} In recent years, the College library has been extended, a Year 7 centre with a specialist music room has been built and the central courtyard of the College, Chapel Court, was developed.[13] In 2012, The Emmanuel Theatre was opened. This tiered, 450-seat facility has an operable orchestra lift, a full fly tower and tuition rooms.[14][15] The Junior School play areas developed in 2013 include a tunnel, a maze, elevated walkways, a citrus grove and other creative play spaces that are adjacent to 'The Shed', a covered outdoor learning area.[16] A heated indoor learn-to-swim pool was opened in 2014 and a Junior School Design and Technology, Art and Administration building with new ablution facilities for Junior School students was opened on 7 February 2015. A student-led help and technical services facility within the Library, the Tech Bar, was opened in 2015. Emmanuel College now serves almost 1500 students and they compete internally in various inter-house activities as members of one of the four houses, namely, Wycliffe, Wesley, Luther and Taylor. In 2017, Emmanuel designed and built a new Senior School building, Neville Bonner Centre. Extensively landscaped, the centre comprises eight new learning spaces, a staff room and a multi-purpose room. ChapelThe Emmanuel College Chapel was built in 1939-1940 and it was the last building approved in Surfers Paradise before the outbreak of World War II. It was the Clifford Street Uniting Church until the building was moved to the Emmanuel College campus and dedicated as the Emmanuel College Chapel on 7 July 1991. The Chapel features a series of stained glass windows. Academic achievementAccording to NAPLAN, in 2017 Emmanuel College students' achievements in reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and numeracy were above or substantially above the national average for Years 3–9. When compared to schools with similar students, the achievements of Years 3-7 were above that group's average in writing, while Year 9 achievement in numeracy was below the average. Achievements in the remaining years and subjects were close to the average when compared to schools with similar students.[17] Extracurricular activitiesAcademic extracurricular activities include the gifted and talented programs, participation in Mathematics, English, Science, Writing, Computing and Spelling competitions, Olympiads, 'Day of Excellence', Writers Cup, one-on-one tuition and academic support programs. Drama, Dance and Music students enjoy excursions, incursions, festivals, competitions, clubs, extension activities, eisteddfods, examinations, concerts, workshops and other performance opportunities. Visual Art students visit exhibitions, have access to artist-in-residence programs, and exhibit their own works. Emmanuel College is a member of the APS group of schools. APS Sporting competition includes swimming, athletics, cross-country, rugby union, netball, volleyball, soccer, hockey, softball, cricket, AFL (Australian Rules Football) and touch football.

In 2017, Emmanuel College's Year 5 Concert band won first place in the Gold Coast Eisteddfod as well as first place for the Clarinet Quartet.{{fact|date=July 2018}} In addition, 3 of the bands and choirs placed second overall and 8 of the bands and choirs were placed 3rd overall.{{fact|date=July 2018}} Queensland and international connectionsThe service and connections programs of Emmanuel College see students visiting Effective Aid International[18]{{failed verification|date=July 2018}} programs in Thailand annually and the College actively supports Mission Educate in Mozambique.[19] {{failed verification|date=July 2018}} The service program also offers student community service trips to a number of southern Queensland towns including St George, Chinchilla, Thallon, Bollon, Dirranbandi, Nindigully and Goondiwindi.
