We aim to offer all students of Canberra Grammar School the highest quality of education. Embracing all that the School and the national capital offer, the young men who complete their schooling here are ready and willing to take their place in a global community.

Ensuring the overall well-being and development of all individuals is very important to us. All our students, from the youngest girls and boys through to our fine young men, are nurtured and cared for by experienced men and women who have genuine empathy with the young. We work together to ensure that our students have a strong sense of morality, integrity and a responsibility towards others.

All students are encouraged by committed and expert members of staff to value excellence in learning. Boys are motivated to set themselves challenging and worthwhile goals and to work enthusiastically toward achieving them.

Each student will be involved in the School's extensive co-curricular program. The range of activities allows students to explore and develop their own particular talents. The effects on their self-esteem and confidence are profound and lasting.

Our students leave Canberra Grammar School with an awareness of tradition, valuing the importance of spirituality, and having a strong sense of community. They all carry with them a vision for the future, becoming productive and worthwhile members of society.

To Prospective Students

My guess is there is nothing more important to your family than your happiness and success at school. Not every school is right for every boy so it's really important that you and your family make an informed decision. School days really matter and we think they lay the foundation for a great many good things later in life.

If you're moving away from home to board at school then it's even more important that you are really happy.

You can explore this website to find out more about the character of our School. Like other great independent schools we have excellent facilities and lots of activities and sports to choose from. You can study many different subjects and your teachers will really want you to do well. There are many opportunities to make friends and you'll get to know a wide variety of people.
