St Aloysius College is a R-12 Catholic girls College located in the heart of the City of Adelaide and is administered by the Sisters of Mercy. The College was established in 1880 and currently has a student population of about 1100. A Montessori Early Learning Centre is located within our grounds.

Our students have high success rates for tertiary entrance and, on average, over 98% of students complete their SACE each year.

Students have the opportunity to participate in our Mercy mission to some poor areas of South America and our language students can apply for our student exchange program. The CBD location means students have easy access to the city's vast educational resources and affords our students many opportunities to participate in the cultural life of the city, such as the Moon Lantern Festival as part of OzAsia. Students are involved in camps such as the ZooSnooze for Year 2 students and the week long outdoor education camp for all Year 9 students in the Flinders Ranges.
