Prince Alfred College

Prince Alfred College is a private, independent, day and boarding school for boys, located on Dequetteville Terrace, Kent Town, near the centre of Adelaide, South Australia. The school has educated Rhodes Scholars, premiers and politicians, leaders of industry and finance, senior public servants, explorers and sportsmen. The school has maintained a worldwide alumni network, run by the Old Collegians' Association (PAOCA), since 1878. Alumni of the school are known as Old Reds.

There is presently an enrolment of some 1,420 students from Reception to Year 12 (ages 5 to 18), Prince Alfred College launched its own Early Learning Centre in 1999 with a current enrolment of 260 co-educational students.

As a school with Methodist roots, it has maintained a strong connection throughout its history to the dual ideals of "muscular Christianity and the Christian gentlemen", consciously seeking to shape the next generation of men through physical and intellectual discipline. The school has a strong sporting culture and undertakes numerous outdoor programs. There is a historic sporting rivalry between the school and nearby St Peter's College, which has religious and intra-class origins. The Intercollegiate Cricket Match, played each year between the First XI of the two schools, is considered the second oldest known ongoing cricket contest in the world, having begun in 1878.
