Pedare is an independent Anglican and Uniting Church School founded in 1986 in Golden Grove, a North-Eastern suburb of Adelaide. The College is organised into three sectors: Junior School (Reception to Year 5), Middle School (Years 6 to 9) and Senior School (Years 10 to 12). Pedare is a professional learning community recognised for excellence in Christ-centred education. The broad and balanced curriculum has a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy with the Arts, especially music and ICT areas of focus. Students with learning difficulties or special talents are supported. The choice of subjects in the senior school is widened by timetable co-operation with the other schools of the Golden Grove Secondary Schools campus. Senior courses cater for the needs of students seeking alternative pathways to further tertiary study and VET training. The Middle School academic program follows the International Baccalaureate Organisations Middle Years program. Therefore, the education is globally-focussed with a diversity of subject choice within a core curriculum .The Junior School emphasis is one of enquiry-based learning and pastoral development fundamental to learning. Throughout the College, pastoral care and resilience building programs are organised through a vertical community based approach.
