Urrbrae Agricultural High School is a South Australian public high school with an enrolment of almost 1,000 students in five year levels. The school is located in the Adelaide suburb of Netherby, about 5 kilometres south of the Adelaide city centre. It is adjacent to the Waite Agricultural Research Institute of the University of Adelaide, the CSIRO Agricultural Research facilities in the suburb of Urrbrae, and various other agricultural and horticultural facilities established by Peter Waite, the University of Adelaide and the South Australian state government.
The school has been designated as a Special Interest School in Agriculture, and therefore provides more comprehensive courses in Agriculture and Horticulture than other secondary schools in South Australia. It also has a strong Adult Education program and awards certificates of Agriculture and Horticulture.
The school has an inbuilt farm, and it also has significant science facilities and a large technology centre.
