Adelaide High School values the achievement of individual and collective excellence and encourages the social, emotional, intellectual and physical development of all members of our community. We build upon our linguistic and cultural diversity by offering a wide range of active learning opportunities connecting the school with local, national and international communities. We value teamwork, reflection and sharing good practice. We are committed to challenging our students to use their abilities and interests to maximise potential. We offer a varied curriculum and co-curricular programs, developing student learning using a range of resources and methodologies, including information and curriculum technology (ICT). The school is supported by a school community that sets future directions, honours its traditions and acknowledges and celebrates its diversity. Adelaide High School is accredited by the Council of International Schools and is an Associate School for Students with High Intellectual Potential. It is the Department of Education and Children's Services Special Interest Language School and enrols students into programs of excellence in cricket and rowing. A centre for hearing-impaired students operates on the site.
