Our Story
A story of faith, heritage and community that began with a vision to nurture young minds while keeping them connected to their cultural and spiritual roots.
A School Born from Faith, Culture and Community
Tucked away in the beautiful, leafy streets of Unley, our school has been a place of learning, faith and community. Saint Spyridon College is an independent co-educational primary school shaped by the Orthodox Christian faith and Hellenic culture. It was established in 2004 by Saint Spyridon Parish, under the auspices of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.
Founded with a deep commitment to nurturing young minds in the Orthodox Christian tradition with just eight inaugural students and one dedicated teacher, we continue to honour the vision of the families and church leaders who first brought this dream to life. The college preserves the founding vision of a small, family orientated school, uniquely able to provide all students with personalised education in a secure environment where students develop close relationships with one another.
Faith, Heritage and Belonging
A place where children could grow academically while staying connected to their cultural and spiritual roots. That spirit still lives in every classroom fostered by handpicked teachers who share the values and lifestyle of our Christian heritage.
At the heart of our school is a belief in the strength of family, the beauty of heritage and the power of belonging. With a focus on academic excellence, spiritual growth and individual wellbeing, we provide a supportive environment where every child is known, valued and inspired to thrive. Guided by our Orthodox Christian faith, we foster a sense of purpose, kindness and community in everything we do, from morning prayer to shared meals, school liturgies and joyful festivals.
We are a small school with a big heart, where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive, not just in their learning, but in their character and spirit. As a small Christian school, Saint Spyridon College is more than just a place of education. It is a living expression of faith, culture, and care.
We would love to welcome your family and share the Saint Spyridon experience with you.
