The MGGS Difference
We take the education of girls very seriously, ensuring our Grammarians are active participants in their learning.
We offer a completely customised learning program to give our students an edge while encouraging individual passions.
Challenge and choice are key elements to our progressive educational outlook. We are and always have been an innovative, forward-thinking school. Melbourne Girls Grammar graduates leave the School with the knowledge, skills and experience they need to navigate whatever life throws their way.
A Girl’s Education
A Melbourne Girls Grammar education prepares students to excel in any pathway they choose. We focus on teaching the whole girl and attribute our success to a holistic focus on wellbeing and academics, offer more than 60 co-curricular activities so our girls can discover their passions, and
in our Senior Years Program, coaching is a part of each girl’s school week where we pair a student with a coach to keep girls on track towards ‘the big picture’.
STEM
Our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics program builds girls’ confidence and competencies in solving design, systems and computational problems. We are excited by the challenge of preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s technology. Our STEM program fosters budding futurists who are enamoured by what could be, and who are excited to be an enterprising part of making their visions of the future become a reality.
