The College is owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its sister college, Northpine Christian College, is located in Dakabin, Queensland, approximately 1 hour south of Cooroy.

During the 2011 year, the Hon John Hogg, Senator for Queensland and President of the Senate, Australian Government, officially opened a new A$2,000,000 Library funded entirely by the Australian Government Building Education Revolution (BER) Scheme.[5] Noosa Christian College is one of 55 Adventist schools in Australia. These Adventist schools have received A$100 million as part of the Australian government's education modernization program.[6]
Spiritual aspects
All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many which encourage student input. Weekly, the entire student body gathers together for an hour-long chapel service. Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
Athletics
The Academy offers the following sports:
- Soccer (boys & girls)
