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.
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.
Strong, respectful relationships underpin success. By truly knowing our students, setting high expectations, and fostering a global outlook, we empower them to find their place in the world.

Only two days left until our ELC - Year 2 Open Day!
The right school doesn't just educate your child. It shapes them.
And it can start earlier than you might think.
Canberra Grammar School's early learning programme welcomes children from three years old. Not just as a childcare option, but as the first step in a genuine educational journey. One that builds, year by year, all the way through.
Come and see how it begins. Walk the historic grounds, meet the teachers, explore the facilities, and understand what learning looks like when it's designed with the long view in mind.
If you're thinking about your child's education — even just starting to think about it — this is the day for you.
ELC – Year 2 Open Day | Thursday 14 May.
