Eastside Lutheran College (originally named St Peter’s Lutheran School) was established in 1982 by the congregation of St Peter’s Lutheran Church, Hobart, as part of its Christian outreach to the wider community. Its’ original location was in the house next to the church in Davey Street.
In 1985, as enrolments increased, the school moved to its new premises on the Eastern shore of the river and was known as Eastside Christian School. At the end of 2002 the College moved towards offering a complete secondary curriculum and in November 2004, it was decided to change the name to Eastside Lutheran College.
In 2020 the College developed a Kindergarten and in 2021 progressed to Year 11 and 12.
