Geelong Grammar School, Private Anglican boarding school in Corio, Australia.
Geelong Grammar School is a private Anglican boarding school spread across 230 hectares near Corio Bay, with residential houses, teaching buildings, and sports grounds serving approximately 1,500 students in Years 5 to 12. Students can pursue either the International Baccalaureate or the Victorian Certificate of Education program.
The school was founded in 1855 by Archdeacon Theodore Stretch with fourteen students, then relocated to its current site near Corio in 1914. This move to larger grounds allowed the institution to expand its residential and educational facilities significantly.
The school emphasizes three educational approaches: Adventure Education, Positive Education, and Creative Education. These pillars shape how students experience daily life and learning together within the community.
Students have access to 24-hour health services at Kennedy Health Centre for medical care and emergencies. The large campus offers outdoor activities and sports facilities spread across the grounds, so planning time to explore the full area is helpful.
The Timbertop Campus program sends Year 9 students to the Victorian Alps to study. Students combine outdoor activities with classroom learning in a mountain setting, creating an unconventional educational experience.
