South Australia private school sector — what to know

Wilderness School consistently tops SA's independent school median ATAR (96.7 most recent year). Prince Alfred College + St Peter's College are the historic boys' schools; Walford + Wilderness lead among girls'.

SA has a strong IB Diploma cohort — Pembroke, St Peter's, Prince Alfred + Walford all offer IB alongside SACE. Adelaide's smaller independent sector means competition is concentrated; the top 8 schools account for the majority of high-ATAR results.
