About

We invite you to discover Newcastle Grammar School, where outstanding opportunities prepare young people to forge their own outstanding futures.  

A leading co-educational, independent school for students from Kindergarten to Year 12, Newcastle Grammar School proudly links back to the earliest days of Anglican education in the city. Today, set across two campuses in the heart of Newcastle, it stands tall as the pre-eminent school in the Hunter region of New South Wales.

With more than 100 years providing unrivalled educational outcomes, our strong tradition of excellence extends far beyond outstanding academic results. It is demonstrated in the calibre of our graduating students, who transition seamlessly from NGS and venture into the world prepared to live lives of purpose and success.

Woven through every student’s journey are our values of Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence. Our students consistently RISE to become individuals who are adaptable and confidently prepared to strive for excellence, show compassion and serve others. At Newcastle Grammar School, pastoral care is delivered through the Visible Wellbeing program and Positive Education philosophy that is embedded from Kindergarten to Year 12.

Newcastle Grammar School students benefit from outstanding relationships with dedicated staff and leaders. Our teachers are selected for their professionalism and expertise and are continually upskilled to foster an enriched community that makes an impact.

Central to our pursuit of excellence is a focus on service learning and spiritual development: Newcastle Grammar School enjoys a highly valued relationship with the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle and Christ Church Cathedral and undertakes service activities with a variety of partners. NGS is also part of the international network, Round Square, connecting with schools and students across 50 other countries.

Our extensive range of co-curricular pathways is part of a world-first program, myNGS Passport, which is unparalleled in the region. Together with our exceptional Supporting Athlete Performance program and the benefit of a large network of industry connections, Newcastle Grammar School is unrivalled in its provision of outstanding learning opportunities that prepare each student for a life of global citizenship.
