In our complex and ever-changing world, it’s clear that today’s young people will be faced with a unique set of challenges in the future. To meet these challenges, fulfil their ambitions and contribute to the wider world, students need to be equipped with capabilities that will enable them to thrive in a changing environment. At Carey Baptist Grammar School, our students are curious, aspirational and engaged global citizens. We build on their individual qualities to develop young people who flourish and can lead and serve with courage, compassion and intelligence.
Founded in 1923, Carey is a leading co-educational independent school offering three-year-old Early Learning to Year 12. Carey is known for being innovative, progressive and leading the way in best practice teaching and learning, supporting strong academic results and personal development for each student. Carey works in partnership with families to develop wise, independent, motivated young people who are inspired and equipped to create positive change.
Co-education builds confidence, respect and social skills
We strongly believe that co-education is a vital part of helping our students to develop who they are from an early age. By encouraging children to work effectively and respectfully with a diverse group of people, they are exposed to a wide range of perspectives and experiences. In co-educational schools, students work collaboratively, exchange ideas and debate issues, and the presence of different genders adds to the richness and diversity of thinking that fills the classroom.
World-class educators
Recruiting and developing the best educators and professional staff is one of our greatest priorities. Our philosophy of student-centred learning requires students to be active, responsible participants in their own learning, with the teacher working as a mentor, facilitator and guide. Our educators are experts in their fields, and are inspiring leaders and mentors for our students. Students are offered the support they need to succeed, and they achieve incredible results.
Student wellbeing is prioritised
The wellbeing of every student is at the heart of everything we do at Carey and our fully integrated wellbeing program underpins all our activities. Through nurturing student wellbeing and supporting their individual interests, we foster an environment that supports them in achieving their best while also developing individuals with integrity, resilience and a social conscience. We make sure they have a sense of purpose and viable pathways beyond school.
State-of-the-art facilities
To deliver the best possible learning programs, we ensure students have access to inspiring facilities. This includes the award-winning Centre for Creativity and Collaboration, a modern and inspiring building for our Middle School students, and the university-inspired Centre for Learning and Innovation for our Senior School. Carey provides learning spaces where students can feel connected to global issues and explore creative and academic endeavours with the ease and support that comes from having access to advanced resources and expert, passionate educators.
A connected community
Over many years, Carey students have benefitted from the support that comes with being part of a large and engaged community. The ongoing and important contribution of our community enables the development and success of the young people in our care and is testament to our belief in a shared responsibility for creating tomorrow’s thinkers, leaders and positive changemakers.
