Our History

Tabor College commenced in 1979 in Adelaide, South Australia. It was founded by Barry Chant who was committed to a vision of a Christian education centre where Christians of all denominations would receive teaching from the Word of God and training for ministry in the power of the Holy Spirit.

By the late 1980s Tabor College in Adelaide was attracting students from various parts of Australia. A decision was made to begin to establish campuses in other states. In 1988, a campus was established in Melbourne and in 1992 campuses were opened in both Sydney and Perth. Tabor College Adelaide commenced an annexe in Hobart in 2000 and began involvement in teacher education in Indonesia in 2003.
