There are special learning programs for students at Aboriginal schools in outback South Australia, regional centres and metropolitan Adelaide.
Teaching programs take account of culture, social experience and learning experience. Aboriginal languages are spoken at most Aboriginal schools.
Preschool and school
Preschool, primary school and high school are usually offered at separate sites but are sometimes combined on one site.
Where high school subjects are not offered at a remote school, students have options like:
- distance education courses
- boarding while attending high school — travel concessions and allowances to help with accommodation are available through the Indigenous Youth Mobility Program.
