Who Are We
Founded in 1950 as the Albury Seventh-day Adventist School, Border Christian College has grown from a single classroom to a thriving Pre-Kindy to Year 12 school on 12 acres in Thurgoona.
Renamed in 1992, we proudly serve the Albury/Wodonga community, providing quality Christian education and welcoming students from all faiths and backgrounds.
We belong to a growing nationwide network of Adventist schools, colleges and universities in Australia, united by a shared vision to provide exceptional Pre-Kindy to Year 12 education in a values-driven Christian environment. Through regular collaboration, we continually seek new ways to enhance learning experiences, ensuring our students receive a well-rounded, future-focused education.
Being part of this supportive and innovative framework opens doors to enriched opportunities, shared resources, and a community of dedicated educators committed to excellence in independent education. Together, we empower students to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually, preparing them for success in life.
Adventist Education
Since the early 1870s Adventist Education has been an integral part of the ministry of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist Church. Adventist Education is the largest protestant schooling system in the world. As of 2026 we have 10364 schools, colleges and universities in over 100 countries, employing over 120000 teachers, educating more than 2.3 million students each year.
In 1892 the very first Adventist school in Australia opened in St Kilda, Melbourne. Today around Australia, our 48 schools and 38 early learning services are respected in their communities for providing authentic Christian education to nearly 18,000 students and young children from all sectors of the community.
Our schools and early learning services in Australia are non-selective, inclusive schools, open to all who want a Christian community that is caring, safe, values-based, and sets high academic standards.
