Experience a 100-year legacy of educational excellence, connection and opportunity.

Discover a 100-year legacy of educational excellence, connection and opportunity at Canberra Girls Grammar School (CGGS).

CGGS is an independent, non-selective Anglican school. For a century, generations of students from across the globe have experienced an expansive, holistic education.

Founded in 1926, the 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.

The School’s Boarding House, known affectionately as the BoHo, was the first in the ACT, and remains the only exclusively female option. Students from around the globe have enjoyed our charming building, on a picturesque corner of inner Canberra, with a calm and consistent educational environment, affording them the time and space to flourish.

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.

CGGS is recognised as award-winning and with a reputation for excellence in academic outcomes, consistently resulting in exemplary NAPLAN, BSSS and IBDP scores. The School is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and Canberra’s first and only continuum school, offering 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 a somebody that exceeds even your own expectations. Alongside four Rhodes Scholars, CGGS has produced Olympians, award-winning lawmakers, a High Court judge, spiritual leaders and an aerospace engineer - just to name a few.

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 the wise Indigenous women who have shared language, country and culture. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice.
