Melbourne Grammar School is an Australian private Anglican day and boarding school. It comprises a co-educational preparatory school from Prep to Year 6 and a middle school and senior school for boys from Years 7 to 12. The three campuses are Grimwade House (Prep to Year 6) in Caulfield, Wadhurst (Years 7 and 8) and Senior School (Years 9 to 12), both in the suburb of South Yarra.
Founded on 7 April 1858 as the Melbourne Church of England Grammar School, the school currently caters for approximately 1,900 students from Prep to Year 12, including 120 boarders from Years 7 to 12.[3]
Melbourne Grammar is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[4] the Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA),[5] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[3] the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV),[2] and is a founding member of the historic Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS). The school is also a member of the G20 Schools Group, and officially a partner school with Waseda University and its affiliates in Japan.[6] Three of Australia's former prime ministers - Deakin,[7] Bruce[8] and Fraser[9] - were educated at Melbourne Grammar School.
