Great Southern Grammar is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational primary and secondary day and boarding school, located in the Great Southern regional town of Kalgan, Western Australia between the King River and the Kalgan River. The school is situated approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) East of Albany, a regional centre 390 kilometres (242 mi)[2] south-southeast of Perth.
The campus has a total area of 58 hectares (144 acres)[3] bordered by Nanarup Road to the north, Oyster Harbour to the south, Johnston Creek to the west and the Kalgan River to the east.
The school is non-selective, and caters for boys and girls from age four (Kindergarten) through to age eighteen (Year 12). Students attend the school predominantly from Albany and the Great Southern, but also from other parts of Australia and internationally, with a current boarding population of ~140. The school is known colloquially as "the School of the Sea".[4]
