Alliance Overview
The Adelaide Independent Schools Alliance (AISA) consists of a group of premier
Adelaide non-government schools who collaborate in promo�ng South Australia
as an educa�on des�na�on for overseas students.
AISA schools understand the need for a holis�c approach to student recruitment
and recognise that support for the welfare of a student extends beyond the
ini�al enrolment period. It can be daun�ng to arrive in an English-speaking
country equipped with limited language skills and possessing only a par�al
awareness of the local culture. This is true for all visitors, but it is par�cularly
true for young, school-aged students.
AISA recognises the challenges faced by interna�onal students who want to have
a successful transi�on into their Adelaide school and so AISA uses a broad
induc�on process from the �me they first arrive in Adelaide.
At the core of the Alliance model is a cost-effec�ve program through which
students become informed and prepared for their life in a new city.
As a part of their transi�on, each student will undertake a comprehensive
assessment of their English language skills. The results of this test will assist in
the development of a personalised learning plan to help them meet the entry
requirements of the Alliance schools.

aspire to complete their primary and/or secondary school educa�on in Adelaide in prepara�on for enrolment at an
Australian university or other ter�ary educa�on ins�tu�on.
The key cornerstones of the AIS program are 'English for Academic Purposes' courses for Primary and Secondary School
students that provide them with the necessary skills and confidence to be successful in mainstream classes in Adelaide
schools. These are registered ELICOS (English Language for Intensive Course Overseas Students) courses.
Staff at AIS understand that young people who have newly arrived in Australia require a school environment that
matches their learning needs while providing suitable academic challenges for them within a caring, suppor�ve
educa�onal se�ng. Regular communica�on with parents helps to assure families that the students at AIS receive the
support they need.
The central loca�on of AIS, in the heart of the city of Adelaide, provides easy transport access to students wherever they
may live in Adelaide. Our loca�on also allows the city of Adelaide to become part of the learning environment for AIS,
assis�ng students to be�er understand the unique culture of this city and country.
Adelaide Interna�onal School is a member of AISA which allows graduates of the ELICOS program to move to established
and highly regarded Non-government schools throughout Adelaide. Alterna�vely, students may choose to stay at AIS to
undertake a South Australian Cer�ficate of Educa�on (SACE) course that specialises in Business Educa�on.
The Adelaide Interna�onal School program provides students with the confidence needed to move forward in their lives,
endowing them with skills for their future and assis�ng them adapt to an increasingly globalised world.

St Peter’s Girls’ School
Founded 125 years ago, St Peter's Girls' School is a prestigious early learners to Year 12 Anglican and International
Baccalaureate World School located in leafy Stonyfell, just 5km from Adelaide's city centre. It is one of the oldest and most
respected schools in Adelaide, with a rich history of outstanding education which combines the best of traditional and
contemporary techniques.
Spanning 44,000 square metres, the school is surrounded by green areas and parks, and has superior facilities including a
new Science Centre, Middle School, Junior School classrooms, Library, Maker Space and Media Hub, alongside multi-purpose
lecture halls, music and dance rooms, tennis courts and a gymnasium.
The school offers a comprehensive education from two year olds in the Early Learners' Centre all the way through to Year 12.
With a quality team of award-winning teachers, the school is renowned for academic excellence in the SACE and the
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In 2019, 40% of our SACE students achieved an ATAR of 95+, placing them
in the top 5% nationally. In 2012, the school introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, a challenging
course that opens the door to world-leading universities. St Peter's Girls focuses on the education and development of
students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), with girls achieving remarkable results and winning
prestigious national competitions. To strengthen its STEM focus, the school opened its new Science Centre in late 2019,
featuring seven state-of-the-art laboratories.
Generations of Saints Girls have made their mark on the world, with high-profile graduates including Australia's former
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who ascended to the role of Acting Prime Minister during her illustrious political career.
St Peter's Girls is a powerhouse in education, empowering the learners and leaders of tomorrow.

Wilderness School is a highly regarded, pres�gious day and boarding school for girls. We are proudly an academic school
and jus�fiably ambi�ous for our girls.
Our girls' commitment to learning across a range of academic subjects is consistently evident in their outstanding
achievements year a�er year. These outcomes are a tes�mony to the wonderful opportuni�es offered to our girls and to
the dedica�on and professionalism of their teachers.
Wilderness School was founded in the belief for unlimited kindness in rela�onships, joy in learning, a spirit of humility
and the balance between seeking individual excellence and generous service to the community. These values guide
every part of Wilderness School's culture, rela�onships, teaching and learning programs. We aim to prepare girls for
successful par�cipa�on in a society in which knowledge is a key resource and in an economy which is becoming
increasingly globalised.
Developing confidence, independence and resilience, where our young women are able to respect others and work
collabora�vely are key capabili�es for the 21st century. Each day as we walk alongside our girls, they learn about the
world and their place in it. It is important that we engage them in courageous conversa�ons and that we challenge them
to be bold and brave.
Intercultural sensi�vity and competence and responsible ci�zenship are also important factors in their future.
At Wilderness, we welcome and value the contribu�on our interna�onal students bring to the School community and
respect their courage as learners in their second language. At Wilderness, we are dedicated to providing each individual
girl with a firm founda�on and inspira�on for a challenging, demanding and fulfilling life.
