For the Sydney Jewish Day School, see Masada College

Massada College was an independent Modern Orthodox Jewish co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in Glenside in Adelaide, South Australia. It shared a suburban campus with Adelaide Hebrew Congregation. The college served students from Orthodox and Progressive Jewish backgrounds, as well as non-Jewish students. It was the only Jewish school in South Australia.

History

Victor Ades Memorial Kindergarten, a Jewish kindergarten, was founded in 1972 and later co-existed with Massada on the same campus.

Massad was founded in 1976, when Adelaide's Jewish population peaked at around 2, 000. The school received financial support from a number of benefactors over the years, such as Rabbi Joseph Gutnick.

By the time of the school's closure in 2011, Adelaide's Jewish population had halved in size since the school was founded. The school went into voluntary administration.

Residential redevelopment has been proposed for the school site and former synagogue.
