Oakleigh Grammar is an Independent Christian school located in the Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh. The school was established in 1983 and currently caters for 488 students from 3-year old Kindergarten to Year 12.
The School has three sub-schools, each with its own Head. The Junior School encompasses an Early Learning Centre which provides programs for 2, 3 and 4-year old kindergarten students, and operates under the principles of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. The Junior School also consists of Years Prep to 5 and the educational offering is a combination of Direct Instruction and Inquiry Based learning.
The Middle School offers students a traditional choice of academic studies at Years 6 - 9 and is currently a Candidate School for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program.
The Senior School is based on the Victorian Certificate of Education [VCE] with a range of academic offerings at Years 10 - 12. There is a strong emphasis on Sport and Student Wellbeing, and high priority is given to maximizing each students academic potential.
Oakleigh Grammar boasts a strong character development program stemming from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The School Principal, Mr. Mark Robertson, is leading a transformation of the School with the theme of 'internationalism' permeating the students day to day life. The Hellenic roots of the School are embedded in its culture with Greek Language, Dance and Christian Values [stemming from the Orthodox Christian persuasion] being clearly visible in this thriving multicultural and contemporary learning environment.
