Since Ipswich Girl's Grammar School was established in 1892, academic excellence, leadership, individualised care, and preparation for life beyond school have been the cornerstones of our educational philosophy. We strive to develop young people who will take their places confidently in the community and apply the caring values and quality standards they have learned at school to all aspects of their future lives. IGGS/IJGS students enjoy learning about their world with projects and resources that develop their ability to solve problems, think creatively, act independently, and communicate their ideas effectively. These are the skills that will help them participate with confidence in a complex and changing world. Our staff includes specialist teachers, qualified psychologists, nutritionist, registered nurses and experienced boarding supervisors… because we know that a caring and stimulating environment enhances a student’s efforts to do their best, whatever their age, gender or ability. We understand how young people’s needs and learning patterns change as they grow up. That’s why we offer educational programs that are dynamic, relevant, and practical. It’s also why our study and co-curricular programs are designed to help all students discover the benefits of a balanced lifestyle.
