Caulfield Grammar School is a coeducational day and boarding school with five campuses – four in Melbourne, Australia and one in Nanjing, China – and is associated with the Anglican Church. It is well known for its provision of innovative, specialist programs for girls and boys from Kindergarten to University level. Teaching staff are supported by an extensive professional development program. Our diverse learning community welcomes committed, passionate and inspirational educators who bring a range of life experiences and a belief in their ability to make a difference.

The distinguishing characteristic of Caulfield Grammar School is our commitment to learning in all its forms, inside and outside the classroom, and at every stage of life.

We are committed to:

providing students with a broad range of learning experiences in order to prepare them for many different challenges in their adult lives;

providing staff members with extensive personal and professional development experiences which enable them not only to model lifelong learning for our students, but, importantly, to ensure they can respond to the individual learning needs and styles of students; providing parents with learning experiences which enable them to better assist their children in their own learning; providing past students with meaningful forums to facilitate new ideas, business opportunities and social and sporting activities.

In order to meet the particular needs of children at different stages of their learning, members of the teaching staff choose areas of the academic and co-curricular programs in which they will specialise. While some specialise in teaching particular year levels in order to respond to the specific learning needs of students at various stages of their development, others specialise in a particular learning discipline, such as science, music or theatre studies.

Teaching and learning at Caulfield benefits from a strong structure of leadership and team commitment. Teachers, students and the learning programs for specific year levels are guided by Heads of Teaching and Learning. Specialist Learning Area Leaders (secondary) and Level Team Leaders (primary) lead, support and facilitate learning areas and year levels in which they specialise. With a focus on best-practice teaching and learning and new developments in education, all teachers are engaged in a comprehensive professional development program that incorporates weekly sessions for all teachers. Each teacher works with their Head of Teaching and Learning to develop an annual individual professional and personal development plan.

All professional development activities are designed from the basis of the school's statement on The Characteristics of Quality Teaching for Quality Learning. Our teachers will:

Model learning and a passion for learning.

Have high expectations and challenging students with significant issues.

Provide quality feedback to enhance further learning.

Cater for diversity.
