Sydney International Grammar School

Sydney International Grammar School is a leading co-educational institution in the inner-city suburb of Surry Hills, offering the Australian Curriculum alongside the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for senior students. The school serves a culturally diverse student body from Preschool through to Year 12, with families drawn from over 50 nationalities living across Sydney's eastern suburbs and inner west. The school is registered and accredited by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), meeting all requirements for delivering the Australian Curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 10 and the IB Diploma Programme in Years 11 and 12. Students who complete the IB Diploma receive an internationally recognised qualification that is converted to an equivalent Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for university entry in Australia. The Surry Hills campus occupies a heritage-listed building that has been extensively modernised with purpose-built science laboratories, a performing arts centre with a 300-seat auditorium, a well-resourced library, and dedicated art and music studios. A rooftop sports area and swimming pool provide facilities for physical education and competitive sport within the constraints of an inner-city location. Language education is a distinguishing feature of the school. All students study Mandarin and Italian from the early years, building genuine bilingual and trilingual competency by the time they reach senior school. This emphasis on languages reflects the school's international outlook and prepares students for global engagement. Academically, the school produces strong NAPLAN results across literacy and numeracy benchmarks, and IB Diploma graduates consistently achieve above the world average. Alumni gain admission to the University of Sydney, UNSW, University of Melbourne, and leading international universities. The school provides comprehensive HSC-equivalent pathways through the IB for students pursuing tertiary education in Australia. Extracurricular programs include debating, drama productions, orchestra, competitive swimming, and community service initiatives. A dedicated student wellbeing team supports pastoral care across all year groups. Tuition fees range from AUD 25,000 to AUD 42,000 per year depending on the year level. The school offers limited bursaries based on financial need and academic merit.
