Canberra Grammar School has always been a proud boarding school, and we are now the only co-educational boarding school in the ACT. Our tight-knit group of 130 boarders are a make-up of students from surrounding rural and coastal areas, local students whose families are on overseas postings with Parliament, Foreign Affairs and the Australian Federal Police, and from countries all over the world. Here, young people from very different backgrounds are brought together for a shared experience in an environment of respect and inclusion, and develop a sense of camaraderie that is difficult to match in another setting.
“Boarding has not only allowed me to attend CGS but also allowed me to utilise so much this School has to offer outside of the classroom… I have gained strong independence skills and self-motivation; I am part of a community which I believe has given me a great advantage for when I leave school and move into the real world.” – 2022 Boarding Graduate
Our boarders enjoy a home away from home, with all the resources of the School and our National Capital at their doorstep, as well as access to academic support, assistance from peers and mentors, and consistent routines that help navigate School life.

Our boarders have 24 hour, seven day a week support from an incredible team of dedicated and caring professionals, led by the Heads of Boarding. The team also includes live in and visiting tutors, a registered nurse and visiting doctor. Academic tutors offer that little bit extra to support our commitment to academic excellence while our Boarding Coordinator assists in the day-to-day care of boarders by providing pastoral, domestic and administrative support to boarders, their families and the Boarding House staff. CGS Boarding also offers a range of dedicated pastoral care staff, including counsellors and psychologists who are on-staff.
All CGS Boarders have access to not only a variety of sporting facilities, but to a wide range of leading sporting programmes from rugby, soccer, tennis, cricket, netball to water polo and extra-curricular programmes like Code Cadets and student-based academic support groups like the CGS Academy. Additionally, students have the opportunity to apply for international exchanges as a part of their academic programme, or may even participate in an international-trip as part of a sporting commitment.
Staying in touch with family is important to Canberra Grammar School and we welcome parent contact and involvement. The Boarder Parent Committee Group meets each term where feedback, initiatives and inquiries are openly discussed. And of course, parents and students have unlimited access to one another.
The Registrar provides guidance and support with enrolment procedures and arrangements prior to entry to the School, including guardianship and accommodation matters, health insurance, and visa. Most overseas students seeking a place at Canberra Grammar School as boarders will need to undertake capability and achievement tests which will help to assess the student’s ability to manage the courses offered and their English proficiency.

For two weeks this month, as part of our Code Cadets programme, sixteen Canberra Grammar School students have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the corporate headquarters of many high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.
This tour will allow our students to further extend and harness their knowledge and skills in software development, information technology, and computer science in the broader sense. Meeting the engineers and executives behind these global tech enterprises will provide our students with an authentic context where they can see the practical applications of the skills they have been learning in the Code Cadets, and provide opportunities to meet and network with IT professionals from around the world.
