Wilderness School is an independent day and boarding school for girls in Medindie, on the northern edge of Adelaide's park lands. Founded by the Brown family in 1884 to educate girls in a family setting, it describes itself as South Australia's oldest independent girls' school. Today it takes girls from its Early Learning Centre, for three- and four-year-olds, right through to Year 12, organised into a Junior School (Reception to Year 6), a Middle School (Years 7 to 9) and a Senior School (Years 10 to 12). The school's stated purpose is to prepare each girl for the choices she will face as a woman and global citizen, and its culture is framed around kindness and joy in learning. Alongside the main campus, which combines heritage and modern buildings, girls use the neighbouring Park Lands for sport and the school's Crawford campus for further programmes. Boarding is offered on site, and academic, boarding and entry scholarships are available.
