Alice Springs School of the Air is one of two Schools of the Air in the Northern Territory funded by the Department of Education.

The Alice Springs School of the Air offers a wide range of educational services and activities to isolated school children, from Pre-school to Year 9, in the southern half of the Northern Territory and the extreme north of South Australia.

The School operates for 40 weeks of the year and follows the same school calendar as other Government schools in the Northern Territory, sharing the same term and holiday schedule.

Many of the students live on cattle stations but they also come from Indigenous communities, camel farms, national parks, mining camps, road houses, remote police stations and tourist ventures.

The Visitor Centre provides a fascinating overview of remote Australian education, with displays, videos, demonstrations and talks.
