Yarra Valley Grammar
Yarra Valley Grammar's inclusive, welcoming community is one our families genuinely love and a place where our students feel inspired to achieve their very best.
Set on a single 29-hectare campus, the School offers a coeducational learning experience for students from Early Learning through to Year 12.
Our students are supported by talented and dedicated teachers who love what they do and know how to bring out the best in each individual. They understand the value of boys and girls workingtogether to develop teamwork and self-confidence and, with around 1100 students, our School is large enough to offer a diverse program, but small enough that each student is known by their teachers and peers.
