St Michael’s Lutheran School is a co-educational primary school located in Hahndorf, offering innovative learning experiences that encourage students to wonder, challenge, explore, and discover. Established in 1839, the school has been providing Lutheran education to the Adelaide Hills Community for over a century. Rooted in Christian beliefs and values, St Michael’s fosters healthy relationships within the community and supports each student’s capacity to learn and reach their full potential through individualized programs across academic, behavioral, and social areas.
As an International Baccalaureate World School, St Michael’s is dedicated to nurturing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young individuals who are diverse thinkers with a passion for learning and service. The school welcomes students from diverse backgrounds and does not require adherence to the Lutheran faith for enrollment. Prospective families are encouraged to visit the school, meet the Principal, and explore the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program and Lutheran Education to make an informed decision about their child’s education.
In addition to its academic offerings, St Michael’s provides St Michael’s KinderGym, a program designed to support young children’s physical development through movement, music, and fun activities. Led by an accredited KinderGym coach, KinderGym offers a safe environment for preschool children in the Adelaide Hills community. The school also offers virtual tours for interested families to explore its facilities and experience the ethos of wonder, challenge, explore, and discover that defines St Michael’s Lutheran School.
