Boarding

At Prince Alfred College, we provide a welcoming and supportive place for boys to live and learn. As a boarder, your son will be a valued part of a tradition that has welcomed rural, interstate and international families to our Adelaide boarding school for over 150 years.

With a focus on academic, social and emotional wellbeing, we are committed to giving our boarding boys the support and care they need as we oversee their education in a safe and modern home away from home.
