Welcome to Brisbane Grammar School. We are an inclusive community where students from diverse backgrounds come together to live the School's values of learning, leadership, endeavour, respect, and community.
Why Choose a BGS Education?
For more than 155 years, Brisbane Grammar School has balanced tradition with innovation in the pursuit of excellence. Our culture celebrates effort, and our teachers encourage each boy to achieve his personal best.
A BGS education is built on three core programs: Academic, Cocurricular and Student Wellbeing. This holistic approach nurtures character, develops individual talent, and fosters a sense of leadership, curiosity, community, and a love of lifelong learning.
While honouring our legacy, we remain committed to equipping students with skills in critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and communicating with confidence.
From the Headmaster
Our ambition to be the best school for boys in Australia inspires us to create an environment where boys pursue their talents and realise their potential.
The education of boys requires scholarly, social and emotional instruction. Our mission is to teach, model and build academic and social behaviours that will lead to full and successful lives beyond school.
Every boy is given a place to belong and an opportunity to excel. Our broad liberal education, combined with extensive Cocurricular and Student Wellbeing programs, provides every boy with the foundation to pursue diverse careers.
We remain resolute in our commitment to developing thoughtful and confident young men of character who contribute to their communities.
Our talented teaching staff are innovators, continually developing and expanding their learning for the benefit of students. We constantly review and develop our programs, practices, and facilities to equip boys with skills for the 21st century, including critical and creative thinking, effective communication, and the ability to work in a team.
The academic results of our graduating seniors reflect the School motto, "Nil Sine Labore" - Nothing Without Hard Work. What we require is an open and enthusiastic attitude, and a willingness to seize the opportunities to engage and belong.
This invitation is lifelong, with past and present parents, staff, Old Boys and friends making up our rich school community.
Thank you for joining us on the BGS journey.

Core Programs
A Brisbane Grammar School Education is built upon Academic, Cocurricular and Student Wellbeing programs, which are all of equal importance.
Each of these programs is designed to promote the development and extension of the character and talents of students, and to nurture a strong sense of service, community, leadership and loyalty to others.
