Vision

We are a learning community passionate about developing, inspiring and guiding a boy on his journey to adulthood.

The learning journey at Brighton Grammar School starts with one small step – whether your son is entering the Early Learning Centre, the Junior School, the Secondary School or even as a senior boy for the VCE years.

Every stage of the journey through our School has been carefully designed to bring out the best in your son and to give him choice and opportunity to become the person he wants to be as he makes his way towards adulthood. This is never a solo journey; supporting each boy is a staff of people expert in teaching boys who have actively chosen to join a school that teaches only boys.

Our staff really get to know the boys because not only do they teach them in the classroom, but they coach or manage sports teams, get involved in drama, chess, debating and music, attend outdoor education camps and manage the pastoral care program. One of the great strengths of our school is the way in which boys feel a sense of belonging and that they are known.

Our expertise in understanding boys, celebrating boys and knowing how to teach boys.
