Sydney Grammar School (SGS, known colloquially as Grammar)[4] is an independent, fee-paying, non-denominational day school for boys, located in Sydney, Australia.
Incorporated in 1854 by Act of Parliament[5] and opened in 1857, the school claims to offer a "classical" or "grammar" school education thought of as liberal, humane, pre-vocational pedagogy.[4]
As of 2006, Sydney Grammar School had an enrolment of approximately 1,841 students from kindergarten to Year 12, over three campuses.[6] The two preparatory schools (K to 6), are located at Edgecliff in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs,[7] and St Ives, on the Upper North Shore.[8] The College Street campus caters for students from Forms I to VI (Years 7–12), and is located in Darlinghurst.
The school is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[9] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[10] the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference,[11] and is a founding member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS).[12]
As of 2019, it was ranked the 3rd most expensive school in Australia with an average annual school fee of $36,615 per student.[13]
