Concordia College, Highgate, South Australia is a Lutheran school in the inner suburbs of Adelaide. It was regarded as the premier lutheran school between the 1970s and the 1990s but this view has since diminished. Nevertheless, it is well known for its combination of historic and modern architecture, most notably the Chapel, which has been the recipient of numerous awards. It features a waterfall and fountain behind a glass setting and a striking cross with the crown of thorns. Its lighting has been praised highly.
Along with its sister school, Immanuel College, it is one of the more exclusive schools in Adelaide and Lutheran Australia.
[edit] History
Concordia was originally set up as a school, teachers college and seminary in Murtoa, Victoria in 1890. It moved to Highgate in 1905, becoming a coeducational secondary school in 1927.
