Description

Concordia College is an independent and co-educational Lutheran school located in Adelaide, South Australia. Established in 1890, Concordia caters for around 1300 students from ELC to Year 12. The school has been an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School since January 2001 and offers the IB middle years and IB diploma programmes. Concordia is a Latin word meaning "harmony".HistoryThe college's existence is largely due to the vision and enterprise of W. F. Peters, a Lutheran pastor in the Victorian country township of Murtoa, who purchased a private school founded there in 1887 by T. W. Boehm and established it in 1890 as a boys' college and training ground for future pastors and teachers. Lutheran leaders in South Australia recognised that the college was too important to the future of the church for it to remain in a remote country town in Victoria, so Concordia moved to its present Highgate site in 1905. Due largely to the efforts of Pastor P. B. Zweck, Concordia became a Christian co-educational secondary college in 1927, operating under the South Australian District Synod of the Lutheran Church of Australia. Today the college caters not only for Lutheran families, but for all students whose parents are prepared to support the educational program and Christian ethos.In 2016 Concordia College amalgamated with the neighbouring St John’s Lutheran Primary School to form the new ELC to Year 12 Concordia College.CampusConcordia is located on a single campus in suburban Highgate, five kilometres south of the Adelaide city centre. The College grounds feature a combination of historic and modern architecture, surrounding a central grassed quadrangle.
