Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS) is an independent, non-selective Anglican school. For a century, generations of students from across Australia and the globe have experienced that at CGGS, anything is possible.

Founded in 1926, Mother Emily Ayckbowm’s Anglican Community of the Sisters of the Church opened the doors with just 10 students. Established by trail-blazing women, the Sisters' spirit of fearless leadership, visionary thinking, unwavering resilience and a deep passion for learning lives on.

Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, and now spanning three campuses, CGGS provides a world-class educational and co-curricular offering. Perfectly positioned at mid-sized with 1300+ students, the School is co-educational from Early Learning to Year 3, then female-focused through to Year 12.

CGGS values the whole child—all are encouraged to be involved in a range of pursuits in, and beyond the classroom. Students have many opportunities to nurture existing talents, discover new interests and develop their skills to become the well-rounded, contributing, informed young people that the world needs.

The School is recognised as award-winning and with a reputation for excellence in academic outcomes, consistently resulting in exemplary NAPLAN, BSSS and IBDP scores. It is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) across Kindergarten to Year 12, with a choice between the ACT BSSS and IB Diploma.

At CGGS you will evolve into someone that exceeds even your own expectations.

We would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples as the traditional keepers of the land on which we gather. We are inspired by their wisdom, spirituality and experience. We particularly acknowledge our debt to the wise Indigenous women who have shared language, country and culture. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice.
