Established in 1964, Luther College is a co-educational school of the Lutheran Church of Australia. Situated in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the College provides a learning environment where students and staff are encouraged to work in close cooperation. This partnership relies on concern and respect for all people, both individually and collectively. As a Christian school in the Lutheran tradition, Luther College is part of local and wider communities where values such as faith, hope and optimism are cherished. Luther College is proud of its strong academic program, complimented by a broad co-curricular structure that includes an emphasis on music, the performing and visual arts, sport and service to others, as focal points for all students. For some time Luther College has worked with the philosophy of Greater care. Greater learning. It is our belief that if the students are nurtured in their adolescent years, encouraged in pursuing their dreams and challenged with an engaging curriculum, they will grow into responsible and motivated young adults. Luther College encourages students to be compassionate and discerning young men and women and gives them the skills to face the variety of social and moral challenges that are presented to us daily.
