The focus of Brighton Grammar School is to ensure each boy is nurtured and stretched to ensure he reaches his personal best in every endeavour. While academic success is our number one priority, we also have a diverse range of other activities on offer including sports, music, performing arts and cultural programs.
Brighton Grammar School welcomes and values international enrolments from Prep through to Year 12 (VCE). Boys are encouraged to hold on to their cultures, values, traditions and integrity whilst immersing themselves in the Australian cultures and education and making life long connections along the way.

We take you/your child’s safety seriously, so we strongly advise you visit the Australian Government website on Health and Safety to be informed on all aspects of your/their safety prior to coming to Australia. The website also covers insurance, phone, internet and banking.
