At Brighton Grammar School (BGS) we teach boys; we celebrate their efforts, their independence, their passions and their achievements. With a history of more than 125 years devoted to teaching boys, we are well equipped to meet their needs at every stage of their education journey. We particularly understand that boys usually learn differently to girls and so we have developed a curriculum especially designed to optimise boys' learning. BGS is a mid-sized, single campus, of just over 1200 students that prides itself on knowing each boy as an individual. We offer a broad, well-balanced education with emphasis not only on the academic, but also on the spiritual, social, aesthetic and physical development of each boy. We have a wonderful teaching staff made up of people who love teaching boys. We offer parents, the primary educators, opportunity to be involved in a dynamic, educational partnership for the benefit of their sons. BGS has an open entry policy. Any boy can be enrolled at Brighton Grammar School so long as we have a place and can meet his needs. We celebrate our student body representing a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. At BGS there is a lifelong sense of community encompassing boys, staff, parents and Old Boys. The special sense of belonging is derived from each boy being known and valued. The relationship that develops between boys and their teachers is characterised by mutual respect and warmth. We encourage our boys to achieve their best in a team culture that promotes participation. The School provides opportunities for boys to excel, both inside and outside the classroom. Boys learn that it is only by working together, developing interdependence as well as independence, that great things can be achieved. The most important resource in our school is the teaching staff. Research shows that one of the key factors in learning is the influence of the teacher; experts agree this will continue regardless of how educational models change. This is why the on-going development of our staff is..
