Mitcham Girls is located in the beautiful suburb of Kingswood, just 10 minutes from the city and is easily accessible by public transport. As the only single-sex school in South Australia, it is not zoned. Many girls travel considerable distances to come to a school where they can be successful and be afforded extensive leadership opportunities. Our school prides itself on being a professional, progressive, learning community dedicated to providing outstanding educational opportunities for girls. We encourage excellence at all levels and develops an awareness of the changing choices available to women in our society. We value and promote respect, positive working relationships, diversity, individuality, excellence, fairness and world citizenship. We offer a SHIP (Students of High Intellectual Potential) program for selected Year 8-10 students and the same teaching methods are used in other classes. In the senior school, students study a wide range of subjects accredited by the SACE Board. We are an internationally accredited school.
