Who we are
Macquarie Grammar School is Sydney CBD’s only fully comprehensive, secular, independent, Yrs7-12 High School. Located just by the Queen Victoria’s Building, on Clarence Street, the School boasts an HSC-focussed curriculum with a strong emphasis on academic studies that will lead to students attaining an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) into university. Macquarie Grammar School favours a co-educational learning model with a 21st century outlook which is secular, co-educational, and open to all.
Our HSC graduates have consistently enabled Macquarie Grammar School to be included on the “HSC Honour Roll”, “Mathematics Merit List”, and the “Board of Studies NSW Distinguished Achievers’ List”, since our conception. The majority of graduates choose to further their studies at university.
