St Peters Lutheran Early Learning Centre

St Peters was founded in 1999 by St Peters Lutheran Church at Blackwood as part of its commitment to serve the local community.

This provided an opportunity to create a school of which students, parents and staff could feel proud. A school that started as 33 students has grown to approximately 250 on a beautiful campus in the lower southern Adelaide Hills.
