A non-denominational, secular Day School, it is situated opposite Hyde Park in the city and draws boys from all over Sydney. The School has consistently maintained a high level of academic success whilst also offering a broad and balanced range of co-curricular activities. There are two Preparatory Schools, one at St. Ives (PreSchool–6) and another at Edgecliff (Kindergarten–6).
Grammar is an unusual school. Its liberal curriculum sets it apart, as does its focus on the life of the mind. We value academic success, although we fully accept that boys mature at different rates, and that there are many indicators of success at school besides examinations. From early on, boys are encouraged to be self-sufficient, and take responsibility for what they do. We are looking for bright and engaged boys with a love of learning, a curiosity about the world and a passion to get involved in sport, music, drama, debating, chess, Cadets, art and more. If you are curious, love reading, science, languages or maths, and if you want to get involved in as many things as possible, then Grammar could be the school for you.
In Year 7 all boys take English, Mathematics, Science, Latin, French, History, Geography, Music, Visual Arts, Applied Arts and PE. Elective subjects offered in Years 8-10 are Classical Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Mandarin), History, Geography, Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Applied Arts. HSC courses are available in English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth and Environmental Science, Classical Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese for Beginners, Modern and Ancient History, Geography, Economics, Music, Visual Arts, Studies of Religion, Design and Technology, Drama and PDHPE. Extension courses are available in English, Mathematics, History, Languages and Music. In line with the School’s policy on breadth, all boys are encouraged to take 12 units including at least two humanities subjects.

There is no waiting list.
The Scholarship tests for entry to Year 7 are held in February every year, and the entrance tests in May. There is also an entrance test for entry Years 8 to 11 in August.
