Established in 1898, Christ Church Grammar School is Melbourne’s leading, inner city, independent school, providing outstanding education for boys and girls, aged 3 – 12 years old. We aspire to be the leading coeducational school for children through to Year 6 by embracing explicit, evidence-based learning; enabling every child to be their best; ensuring our children learn in an environment grounded by love and faith; and by fostering caring, supportive and enduring relationships with children, families and the community. We welcome families, not just students. Diversity is celebrated and children, their families and staff are cherished and valued. We develop and nurture trusting relationships based on respect and honesty.
Our curriculum ensures that our teaching and learning program is both rigorous and enjoyable. We challenge our students to achieve their very best and have small class sizes to maximise student/teacher engagement. Specialist teachers work with our children in a range of areas including the arts, music, languages and physical education. We also offer a comprehensive extracurricular program that caters for diverse interests such as Latin, French, chess, computer coding, homework club, karate, gymnastics and drama. We are proud of our connection with the Anglican Church and are the only coeducational Anglican parish school in Victoria for 3 – 12 year olds. We embed the Anglican values and ethos into our daily practice, welcoming those of all faiths and none.
Situated in the inner city suburb of South Yarra and minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, our school operates across three distinct settings linked by a pathway through Fawkner Park. The Cottage houses our 3 and 4 Year Old Kindergarten and is located in Park Place. The Kindergarten has four main rooms and a dedicated outdoor play area that is reminiscent of a family backyard and garden. Our Prep and Year 1 classes are held in a beautiful heritage building in Parkside that provides a comforting and homely environment for the first two years of formal schooling. Parkside has its own outdoor play area and is also located in Park Place, a few minutes walk through Fawkner Park from our Main Campus.
