Melbourne Grammar School
Melbourne Grammar School, Private Anglican school in South Yarra, Australia.
Melbourne Grammar School is a private Anglican school located across several sites in Melbourne, serving boys and young girls through different campuses. The main South Yarra campus features historic stone buildings, modern classrooms, sports facilities, and green spaces that occupy a large inner-city site.
The school opened in April 1858 following a land grant from Governor Charles Hotham three years earlier. It grew over the decades from a small Anglican foundation into one of Australia's largest private boys' schools.
The school's name reflects its founding by the Anglican Church, a connection still visible today in the religious dimension woven into campus life. Visitors notice chapels and faith spaces across the grounds used for worship and ceremonies that form part of the daily rhythm for students and staff.
The South Yarra campus can be reached on foot from nearby Toorak Road, with main buildings set along Domain Road. Visitors should keep in mind this is an active school site and access is usually limited to special events or scheduled tours.
The school is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, meaning several of its buildings and areas are recognized as historically important. This listing covers not only the oldest stone structures but also parts of the landscape design and sports grounds that help define the campus character.
