Christ Church Grammar School is an independent Anglican day and boarding school for boys from Pre-Primary to Year 12. Located in Perth, Western Australia. The school overlooks Freshwater Bay on the Swan River, Claremont.
The school is a member of the Public Schools' Association (PSA), Independent Primary School Heads of Australia (IPSHA), Association of Independent Schools in Western Australia (AISWA), Association of Headmasters of Independent Schools Australia (AHISA) and Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA).
Christ Church Grammar School was founded in 1910 by the Reverend W.J. McClemans. The school opened on 7 February 1910 as Christ Church Preparatory School with a single classroom and nine boys. In 1917, the school's status was raised from a preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School. In 1931, it became known as Christ Church Grammar School.
Over 1600 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, are enrolled at Christ Church. More than 1100 boys study in the Senior School (Years 7 to 12) and over 500 attend the Preparatory School (Pre-Primary to Year 6).
As a non-selective school, Christ Church caters for a wide range of boys from those who are academically gifted through to students with learning challenges. It also offers places to overseas students.
Christ Church Grammar School opened on 7 February 1910 as the Christ Church Preparatory School. The founder, Canon W J McClemans, was the rector of Christ Church Claremont. The School opened with a single classroom and an enrolment of nine-day boys.
In 1917, the status of Christ Church was raised from preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School. During this year, the Old Boys' Association was established and legislation by Synod brought Christ Church and Guildford Grammar School under the control of one representative council. Christ Church did not have any representation on the Council until 1920, and during this time, financial difficulties put the existence of the school into jeopardy and under threat of closure by the council.
