Seymour College is an independent, Uniting Church, day and boarding school for girls, located at Glen Osmond, Adelaide, South Australia.

Established in 1922 as Presbyterian Girls' College, and renamed for the Rev. J. A. Seymour,[when?] Seymour has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for students from preschool (4 years of age) to Year 12, including 105 boarders.[5] In addition, The Early Years at Seymour offers a co-educational program for children from 6 weeks of age. The college is girls only from Prep (4 years of age) to Year 12.

The college is affiliated with the Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA),[6] the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA),[7] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia, (AHISA),[8] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association, (ABSA),[5] the Uniting Church in Australia and the International Baccalaureate Organisation.[9]

Academic

In 2018, Seymour restructured its Middle School curriculum, introducing two 'super subjects', GEM and STEM from Year 6.[10] Principal, Kevin Tutt, has introduced a wellbeing framework, GIRLbeing, which is delivered via the Strength, Optimism and Justice (SOJ) program.[11]

Service

Crescam Ministrando, I grow by serving, has been the college's motto and guiding philosophy since the college's foundation in 1922. Service Learning is embedded in the curriculum from Reception to Year 12 and the whole-school approach is centred around ‘Justice’ for people and the world in which they live.[12]

Campus

Seymour College is situated on a single 10 hectare campus,[13] located 5 km southeast of the Adelaide city centre, in the Adelaide foothills.[4] The campus is a blend of both old and new buildings. Some of the college's notable older buildings include the historic "Barr Smith House" (formerly the "Wooton Lea" mansion),[14] the bluestone and brick former laundry, stables and cottages, pump house, and the former coach-house turned music room.[15] Other facilities include: two theatres, a Sports Centre including facilities for indoor basketball, netball, tennis, badminton, weights training and exercise, a science centre, two libraries, swimming pool, an oval for athletics, softball, soccer, and hockey, and a Boarding House including dining hall and health centre.[16]
