Geelong Grammar School

About Geelong Grammar School

Geelong Grammar School is a private Anglican co-educational boarding and day school based primarily at Corio, on the northern outskirts of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1855, it educates students from early learning through Year 12 and is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria. The Corio campus overlooks Corio Bay and includes boarding houses, academic buildings and extensive co-curricular facilities for sport, music and outdoor programmes.

A signature offering is Timbertop, a Year 9 campus in Victoria’s high country focused on outdoor education, self-reliance and community living. Senior students typically follow Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) pathways with a broad elective programme, alongside sport, performing arts and service. Boarding attracts students from across Australia and overseas, while day students commute from Geelong and surrounding communities. International families should ask about CRICOS-related requirements, guardianship expectations and pastoral support for overseas students.

Main campus location: Corio, Victoria — confirm street address, visitor parking and tour bookings on ggs.vic.edu.au. Admissions timelines, fee schedules, boarding places and scholarship information are published on the official Geelong Grammar School website. Independent-school fees and boarding charges are updated regularly. Verify current costs, application forms and entry assessments with the school before submitting an application or arranging interstate or international travel. Families comparing Victorian independent boarding schools should ask how Timbertop fits their child, clarify day versus boarding transitions, and review VCE subject counselling for university prerequisites. International applicants should confirm enrolment evidence for student-visa processes.
