Headmaster's Welcome

Welcome to Prince Alfred College 

Welcome to Prince Alfred College, a leading independent day and boarding school for boys from ELC to Year 12, located in Adelaide, South Australia.

For more than 155 years, Prince Alfred College (PAC) has delivered exceptional education for boys. Our rich history and enduring traditions continue to shape a vibrant and forward-looking community where each boy is known, valued and inspired to succeed.

At PAC, we are committed to academic excellence, encouraging every boy to achieve his very best. Guided by dedicated and highly skilled staff, our students are challenged to think deeply, act with integrity and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Equally important is our focus on the development of character and the formation of well-rounded young men. We recognise their individuality and celebrate each boys’ unique strengths through a breadth of opportunities in the classroom, on the sporting field, in the arts, and through service and leadership.

We have a valued tradition of boarding that has welcomed generations of rural, interstate and international families. Our state-of-the-art boarding house provides a home away from home for 150 boys, residential staff and their families.

Our supportive environment is designed to help boys grow in confidence, resilience and purpose – because we believe there is more in every boy than he realises.

While we are a school that is affiliated with the Uniting Church of Australia, we welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds to join our school community.

We warmly welcome families to our College community and invite you to discover all that Prince Alfred College has to offer.

To learn more about Prince Alfred College, I invite you to book a tour of the College to experience the learning environment firsthand. You can also contact our admissions team on (08) 8334 1200 or via email to find out more.
