The standard of education in South Australia is high and there are a number of excellent single sex and co-educational schools, both public and private. Massada College is the Jewish Day School and runs from Kindergarten to Year 7, the end of primary school.

Public school fees are minimal and set by each school. The fee currently is about $500 per year. Public schools are zoned for the students in their assigned area.

Massada College has selected a high school for its graduates and the zoning then does not apply. Private school fees are currently about $8,000 per annum. Zoning does not apply at all.

Compulsory schooling in Australia is from age 5 to 15.
Kindergarten caters for children from age 3 to 5.
Primary school caters for ages 5 to 13, Reception to Year 7 (Standard 5).

Secondary school follows from Year 8 (Standard 6) to Year 12 (Matriculation). A student can choose to do a University Matriculation or a lower level Matriculation. From Year 10, students are guided through their subject choices to maximise their potential and requirements. Matriculation is assessed on both internal and external examinations.

Schools emphasise extra-curricular activities concentrating on the whole child rather than only academic achievement. Sport, music, drama, outdoor education, etc. are all part of the school program. Each student is required to attend a school camp which concentrates on the outdoors.

For very young children there are a number of excellent day care centre facilities.
