Overview

The Hills Grammar School was founded in 1982 with the purchase of a 10-hectare site in Kenthurst, 30km north-west of Sydney CBD.
It was a beginning that had boldness and hope at its heart. The almost-country school of 1983 now sits on the perimeter of rapid suburban expansion and the original enrolment of 182 students has increased to 930 K to 12 with an additional 79 students attending our twice rated Exceeding Early Childhood Education Centre. In 2020 our campus now covers 18.4 hectares. We proudly continue to serve the rapidly growing and changing Hills District and continue to sit within an eminently beautiful and natural parcel of land where learning is central and distraction minimal.
Pre-Kindergarten - Year 12, co-educational, independent, non-sectarian school. A vibrant community of students from many different cultures, background and faiths. Beautiful bushland campus: inspiring natural environment, native wildlife,18ha of landscaped grounds. Caring teaching and non-teaching staff, dedicated to the safety and welfare of students. A curriculum that is designed to enrich and extend and caters for a wide range of interests. Excellent academic results. In past Higher School Certificate results students have placed in the top ten in the state in Mathematics, Latin, Ancient History, Extension 1 English, Modern History, Visual Arts, Hospitality and Information Technology with most of our students gaining first choice entry into University in Australia and overseas.
