HVGS is an independent, not-for-profit, non-selective, secular, coeducational day school for students from Preschool to Year 12. We are an International Baccalaureate World School, equipping our students to be world-ready.


Imagine a school where your child's unique potential is not just recognised but celebrated every single day. Welcome to Hunter Valley Grammar School.

Nestled just two hours north of Sydney, at the entrance to the beautiful Hunter Valley and Newcastle, our School is located in one of NSW's most vibrant and growing regions. 

We live and learn on Wonnarua Country.  Here, your family can enjoy cultural, recreational, and employment opportunities set against the serene beauty of the mountains, valleys, vineyards and beaches.

We have built a legacy based on good values, high expectations, and a commitment to excellence that extends beyond academics.

We are the only school in all of Australia to offer all four International Baccalaureate Programmes (IB). We absolutely lead the way in IB education.

Guided by visionary leaders and a strategic plan that looks to the future, HVGS is more than just a school; it's a community of learners united by a shared vision – realising your child’s unique potential.

Why HVGS?

Benefits of a Secular School

There are many reasons why parents choose to send their children to a secular school. At HVGS every person has a place and belongs.

The case for a secular school for your child

"HVGS is a nurturing and positive place in which to learn and just be. The School’s ethos encompasses the Values for Life, and the tone of the School absolutely reflects those values in action."
