University Senior College is an independent academic school for students in Years 11 and 12. Located within the University of Adelaide campus, students are supported in a vibrant and stimulating learning environment fostering a smooth transition to tertiary study. University Senior College was founded in 2002 as a secular, co-educational independent secondary school for Year 11 and 12 students seeking an academic and supportive pathway to university studies and beyond.
At USC, we are committed to preparing students to bridge the gap between secondary and tertiary study. Indeed USC is currently the most significant feeder school to the University sector in South Australia, notably the University of Adelaide.
While our specialist and experienced team of teachers work with students to create a teaching and learning partnership, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning. The school day at USC is shaped to cater to students choosing from a comprehensive range of subjects that have clear links to University entrance. In this dynamic, adult environment, students can identify and follow realistic study programs that provide pathways to rewarding career options.

Ready access to academic staff and specialist facilities provides an enriched and innovative learning experience. We aim to promote a cooperative environment that fosters knowledge, skills, attitudes, self-reliance, and a sense of self-worth that enables students to maximize their potential.
