Brisbane Adventist College started as a primary school in 1966. The primary school was one of the first established in the Mount Gravatt area. A secondary school was established in 1972 along Wishart Road. Both campuses grew steadily over the years. Then in 1999 they were amalgamated, along with the Early Learning Centre, into one college. Affectionately known as BAC,^{[citation needed]} the school continues to provide Christian education for students from our wider community. The current student catchment is wide-ranging and extends from Ormeau and Ipswich to the Bay area.

Spiritual aspects

All enrolled students take religion classes. These classes cover such topics as biblical history, and Christian and denominational doctrines. Teachers in other subject areas may also begin each class period with prayer or spiritual thought, and encourage student input. Weekly, the student body gathers for a chapel service at their neighbouring church (Mt Gravatt Seventh-Day Adventist Church) with special guests from time to time and the time periods (of the chapel service) ranging anywhere between 45 minutes to 1:30 hours.

Sports

The College offers students access to touch football, basketball, rugby (league and/or union), netball, Futsal (soccer) and volleyball.
