Pembroke School is an Australian independent co-educational and non-denominational day and boarding school located in Kensington Park, a suburb 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of the centre of Adelaide, South Australia.
The school is on two campuses catering for approximately 1700 students from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) to Year 12, including up to 125 boarders in Years 7 to 12. Pembroke provides specialist education for a small number of hearing-impaired students, with the school's "Hearing Unit".
Pembroke School is affiliated with the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia, the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), and is a member of the Independent Schools Sport Association (ISSA).
Pembroke School was established in January 1974 through the amalgamation of two smaller neighbouring single-sex independent schools, King’s College and Girton Girls' School.
Girton Girls' School was an independent school for girls established in 1915. Pembroke's junior and senior schools are located on what is now called the Girton campus.
King's College was an independent school for boys founded in 1923 as a joint venture between the Congregational Church and the Baptist Union in South Australia. Pembroke's middle school is located on what is now called the King's campus.
