Approaching our centenary in 2029, Canberra Grammar School stands as one of Australia’s leading independent co-educational schools, uniting nearly 100 years of tradition with a bold vision for the future.
As an Anglican day and boarding school for students from Pre-School to Year 12, we believe that a co-educational environment best prepares young people for the world beyond school where collaboration, equality, and respect are fundamental to success.
Our inclusive and globally minded community brings together students from more than 40 nations to learn, live and grow with purpose. Set on a magnificent campus in Canberra’s inner south, CGS offers exceptional academic, co-curricular and pastoral opportunities that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion in every student preparing them to thrive as citizens of the world.
From 3-year-old Preschool to Year 6, our Primary School provides a connected learning journey built on strong, respectful relationships, high expectations and a global outlook. Between our two campuses in Red Hill and Campbell, every student is known, challenged and supported to find their place in the world.
We encourage students to develop critical-thinking skills, confidence in leadership, and the ability to find creative solutions in an increasingly complex world—while remaining active and compassionate citizens. Located on our Red Hill campus, the Senior School features outstanding facilities that support academic, co-curricular, and pastoral programmes.
Explore our wonderful school and grounds from wherever you are with the CGS interactive virtual tour.

This August the School went pink, and our community rallied behind the cause with extraordinary generosity, raising over $10,000 for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) 🩷 Thanks for your support, your donations, the pink socks, swim caps, arm bands and ribbons. Thanks for the baking, the cheering, the community.
Our P&F Runners and Walkers Group made their own remarkable contribution, covering 56km across August, one kilometre for each of the 56 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer every single day and raising over $3,600.
Every dollar stands with the Australians affected by breast cancer and brings the goal of Zero Deaths that little bit closer. ... See MoreSee Less
