Edinburgh College offers continuous Christian education from Early Learning (2-5 years of age) to Year 12. Our College accepts enrolment applications from all families who are supportive of our ethos regardless of religious affiliation.
WJ Gilson, the foundation principal of Lilydale Adventist Academy, first suggested the need for a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school on the eastern seaboard of Australia in the early 1940's. However, it was not until the late 1950's that the project gained momentum
Since its beginnings in Melbourne in the 1890s, the Seventh-day Adventist education system has grown worldwide, employing over 84,000 teachers and serving 1.6 million students globally. In Australia, Adventist School Australia operates 50 campuses, educating 13,000 students.
Edinburgh College is committed to the safety and well-being of all children and young people. This will be the primary focus of our care and decision-making. A child-safe environment is one where children and young people are safe and feel safe, and their voices are heard about decisions that affect their lives.
The College community welcomes all students and families who embrace the school's ethos and objectives. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.
