A Melbourne Grammar Start to Life

Set in 3.3 hectares of leafy grounds, Grimwade House is Melbourne Grammar’s co-educational campus in Caulfield for primary students.

Founded in 1858 Melbourne Grammar has long been at the forefront of education and has a long tradition of academic excellence.

The School is committed to being one of the world's leading teaching and learning institutions by offering young students the finest education.

Welcoming Attentive Education

When girls and boys walk through the gates of Grimwade House, they begin a journey that is exciting, challenging and rewarding in a warm atmosphere.

Grimwade House provides a friendly and family-like environment and the emotional support that produces resilient and confident young people.

We aim to attract students with a wide range of interests and give them a diverse educational experience. Our curriculum is broad and challenging, designed to help students explore their own identities and strengths.

A high staff-to-student ratio supports top quality academic teaching, pastoral care, social and spiritual development and our extensive co-curricular program. The School has a teacher/student ratio of 8:12 at primary level.

Excellent Curriculum

The curriculum includes English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Music, Visual Arts, Religious and Values Education, Health and Physical Education. Mandarin Chinese is introduced at Prep and all children learn this language to Year 6. Music is a major part, with all students given the opportunity to sing, play, compose, perform and develop an appreciation for a variety of music styles. Learning Strategies staff offer additional challenge and support for exceptional students or those with learning difficulties.

Technology is fully integrated into the curriculum allowing teachers and students to work, interact and exchange information in imaginative ways. Students are often seen working together on classroom projects or researching material on the School's intranet. All Year 5 and 6 students have their own notebook computers.

• A specialist Music Centre
