Since 2007, Balcombe Grammar has grown to be a highly desirable choice for families on the Mornington Peninsula seeking a co-educational experience, based on Christian values.

Built on the values-based education that our founders dreamed of, our School is small enough for each student to be personally known and recognised, yet large enough to offer an extensive range of opportunities that assist our students to grow and develop as a well-rounded person.

As educators, we continuously seek innovative ways to foster student aspiration and excellence, fully acknowledging that each one possesses unique interests, talents and goals.

Our commitment to support students goes beyond academics. We strive to help them engage in activities and offerings that best align with their individual journeys including active participation in the creative arts, interschool sport, academic workshops and the everyday classroom experience.
