About Us 

Caulfield Grammar School is a leading, internationally recognised, independent, co-educational school committed to providing exceptional educational opportunities from Early Learning through to Year 12. With over 3700 students across 5 campuses, we strive to deliver innovative specialist educational programs to develop a mind for life, so that learners are equipped with the mental, emotional, and academic capabilities they need for their chosen paths.    

Yarra Junction Program 

Located in the Yarra Valley, this campus serves as a hub for our junior and middle school students, offering tailored programs that progressively build upon each other, as students advance through the years. Activities are designed to challenge and engage students, and takes place in the natural environment, promoting adventure-based experiences that deliberately push students outside their perceived limits. By doing so, we encourage our students to rewrite their understanding of their own capabilities, learn about the impact they can make, and instil a sense of responsibility for a sustainable future.  

Additionally, the campus serves as a working Dairy Farm, where students assist with milking and farm operations.
