Ipswich Grammar School is an independent, non-denominational, day and boarding school for boys, located in Ipswich, a city situated on the Bremer River in South East Queensland, Australia. The school is sited on the eponymous Grammar School Hill, with its original buildings occupying the crown of the hill. Some of the Ipswich Grammar School Buildings are listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.
Founded in 1863, Ipswich Grammar was the first secondary school established in the colony of Queensland under the Grammar Schools Act 1860, but other schools (such as All Hallows' School) were already offering secondary education in Queensland. Today the school operates a P to 12 educational model, offering preparatory, primary and secondary education to approximately 1,080 students, including 105 boarders.
Ipswich Grammar School is affiliated with the Australian Boarding Schools Association (ABSA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), Independent Schools Queensland (AISQ), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), and is a founding member of the Great Public Schools Association of Queensland Inc. (GPS).
