Islamic College of South Australia

The Islamic College of South Australia is in West Croydon, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It offers classes from Kindergarten to Year 12.

It has been a working school since 1997 but opened in 1926, where it first set up next to the Wandana Mosque on Wandana Avenue in Gilles Plains. It moved to 22A Cedar Avenue in West Croydon in 2000.

The Islamic College of South Australia is owned and managed by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC).

In 2012 the school was in dispute with AFIC in regards to financial irregularities, which were uncovered during a federal audit.[1] In 2013 a female staff member was dismissed for failing to adhere to the school's dress code. The Teachers' Union took the matter to Fair Work Australia.[2]
