Brisbane Grammar School

Today Brisbane Grammar School opens its doors to 1700 boys from Years 5 to 12, with 100 boarders calling the School home. Set on a heritage listed site, BGS was founded in 1868, making it one of the oldest schools in Australia. Underpinned by values of endeavour, learning, respect, leadership and community, the BGS purpose is to educate boys by nurturing their intellectual, physical, and emotional wellbeing to become thoughtful, confident men of character who contribute to their communities. A BGS education is one where boys have opportunities to develop critical intelligence, imaginative and creative powers, effective communication, and the capacity and enthusiasm for independent, lifelong learning.
