About Adventist Education

Since the early 1870s Adventist Education has been an integral part of the ministry of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church. Adventist Education is the largest protestant schooling system in the world. As of 2026 we have 10364 schools, colleges and universities in over 100 countries, employing over 120000 teachers, educating more than 2.3 million students each year.

In 1892 the very first Adventist school in Australia opened in St Kilda, Melbourne. Today around Australia, our 48 schools and 38 early learning services are respected in their communities for providing authentic Christian education to nearly 18,000 students and young children from all sectors of the community.

Our schools and early learning services in Australia are non-selective, inclusive schools, open to all who want a Christian community that is caring, safe, values-based, and sets high academic standards.
