Since its establishment in 1983, Oakleigh Grammar School has been steadfast in its mission to provide a quality education that harmonises Christian Orthodoxy and Hellenic values with contemporary, forward-thinking programs. Over the years, the school has evolved into a vibrant, comprehensive coeducational institution, offering a seamless educational journey from Early Learning to Year 12.

At Oakleigh Grammar, tradition meets innovation. The school’s commitment to academic excellence is exemplified by its globally recognized “IB Middle Years Programme”, its certification as a “Leader in Me Lighthouse School”, and its implementation of the “Arrowsmith Programme”, catering to diverse learning needs. These initiatives underscore the school’s dedication to fostering critical thinking, leadership, and a growth mindset among students.

Integral to the Oakleigh Grammar experience is its holistic pastoral care and wellbeing framework, ensuring every child feels supported, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. This is further enhanced by a close-knit school community where every student is known by name and nurtured as an individual.

The school’s commitment to accessibility and convenience is evident through its dedicated door-to-door bus service, making education at Oakleigh Grammar accessible to families across a broad geographic area.

At the heart of the school’s ethos are its core values of HARK – Humility, Aspiration, Respect, and Kindness. These values permeate every aspect of school life, shaping not only the character of its students but also the culture of the entire school community.

Transitioning between key stages in education can be a daunting process, but Oakleigh Grammar excels in supporting students through its robust and extensive transition programs, particularly for those moving from the Early Learning Centre (ELC) into Prep.

The school’s exceptional educators play a pivotal role in this success. With a deep dedication to their craft and to their students, these professionals inspire a love of learning, confidence, and a sense of belonging in every child.
