Scotch College is an independent, Uniting Church, co-educational, day and boarding school, located on two adjacent campuses in Torrens Park and Mitcham, inner-southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

Founded in 1919 out of the earlier Kyre College (1902–1918), and incorporated under an Act of Parliament in 1922, Scotch currently caters for approximately 1000 students including more than 100 boarders in Years 7 to 12.[3]

Scotch College is affiliated with the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference,[4] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[5] the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia (AISSA),[6] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[7] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[8] the Independent Schools Sport Association (ISSA) and the Independent Girls' Schools Sport Association (IGSSA).

On 4 September 2014, it was announced that John Newton would become the Principal from January 2015 for 5 years.[9] He was previously headmaster of Taunton School in the UK.[10] In 2021, he announced his upcoming retirement.[11]
