Knox Grammar School is an independent Uniting Church day and boarding school for boys, located in Wahroonga, New South Wales, an Upper North Shore suburb of Sydney, Australia. Founded in 1924 by the Presbyterian Church of Australia as an all-boys school, and named after John Knox. The school has since grown, branching out into a large Senior School and a Preparatory School, enrolling approximately 2900 students.[5] The school also caters for approximately 160 boarding students from Years 7 to 12.[2]

Knox is affiliated with the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference,[6] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[7] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[8] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[2] and is a founding member of the Combined Associated Schools (CAS).[9][10]
