Non Scholae Sed Vitae: Not only for school but for life
Adelaide High School, established in 1908, is the first free high school in South Australia, catering for nearly 1500 students from Years 8 -12. Since it was founded, Adelaide High School has been recognised as a successful and innovative school offering students care and attention in a supportive community environment. It has held this reputation since its inception.
All programs on offer at Adelaide High School are underpinned by our school motto non scholae sed vitae, not only for school but for life. Our curriculum, co-curricular program and House system challenge, engage, enrich, support and accelerate student learning. The Pastoral Care programs provide opportunities for students to learn about themselves and to develop skills to contribute positively to our school and local and global communities.
