Our Purpose
At Mercedes College, we offer a Reception to Year 12 International Baccalaureate (IB) education, shaping confident, compassionate, and globally minded learners.
Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1954, our College provides a holistic and world-class learning experience that nurtures intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and social responsibility.
As a Catholic College inspired by the Mercy tradition, our core values — Mutual Respect, Compassion, Integrity, Justice, Responsibility, and Loyalty — guide everything we do. These Mercy Keys are embedded in our culture, shaping students into ethical leaders who make a meaningful impact in the world.
In an era of rapid change, we are committed to preparing students for the future, fostering internationalism and a lifelong love of learning. Through the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), we cultivate the intellectual, personal, emotional, spiritual, and social growth of every student.
At Mercedes College, education goes beyond the classroom. We empower students to flourish academically, thrive in co-curricular pursuits, and develop the confidence to be fully engaged in their own learning.
Wellbeing at Mercedes College is not just a programme — it is the foundation of our approach. Our staff, supportive environment, and exceptional facilities create a nurturing space where every student is seen, valued, and encouraged to succeed.
With globally recognised accreditation and rigorous quality assurance as a member of the Council of International Schools (CIS), you can trust that Mercedes College upholds the highest educational standards.
Your child’s time at Mercedes College is more than just an education — it’s building a foundation for a bright and purpose-driven future.
