About ​Endeavour College

In 1998, Endeavour College was born out of the vision of existing Lutheran sites of learning (Salisbury Lutheran Kindergarten, Good Shepherd, St Paul, and Golden Grove Lutheran Primary Schools) to extend Lutheran education in the northern suburbs of Adelaide to secondary level. This K-12 vision for Lutheran education was established with the Endeavour College campus ideally situated adjacent to the University of South Australia in the suburb of Mawson Lakes.

We are a non-government, co-educational secondary school with a young history and a strong reputation for educating the minds, hearts and spirits of students in Years 7-12. As a Lutheran school, we are known for offering relevant educational experiences which empower the knowledge-seeker to develop their God-given gifts and abilities to pursue their curiosity and passions with a sense of independence and purpose.
