A worldwide network
As an Adventist school, we are committed to focusing on the holistic development of each student. We believe in nurturing student wellbeing, character and overall growth, with our dedicated and supportive teachers who serve as each student’s personal Inspiration Officers, guiding them on their educational journey.
The Adventist independent school system is a worldwide network of quality Christian schools, colleges and universities that has been operating since 1863. It is now one of the largest Protestant independent school systems in the world.
Owned and operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the schools within this system support and exceed the regulatory standards of education. Committed to making quality Christian education accessible to everyone, each school is founded on Christian principles and welcomes students from all religious and cultural backgrounds.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church operates 5,846 schools worldwide, with a total enrolment of over 1 million students. There are 58 Adventist independent schools in Australia that cater for over 12,000 students in every state and territory. Six comprehensive coeducational schools cover the Greater Sydney area that provide quality education in new or refurbished and well-equipped buildings and grounds.

Why choose Adventist Education?
Our Education is Faith-based
We have a desire to know God and experience Him more in our daily lives. Students are encouraged to develop a relationship with Jesus through religious education and weekly worship services. Additional Bible tuition is available if individuals wish to pursue it.
The Bible encourages us to consider the balanced development of the whole person: their wellbeing, character and development.
We promote a healthy lifestyle, free from alcohol, nicotine and illegal drugs. An extension of this health emphasis is our Vegetarian Canteen.

Mission Statement, Adventist Schools Australia
Our belief about Christian education is biblically based with an unashamed desire to emulate the life of Jesus Christ. Thus, the aim of Adventist education in Australia is to create an educational environment that makes it more likely that each student will accept Jesus Christ as saviour and friend.
Adventist education is built on the belief that each student is unique and of immeasurable value. It values the importance of the systematic development of the whole person. Students are taught to accept the concept of service as a principle of life; to be sensitive to the needs of people; and to become contributing members of their home, church and society.
