Blue Mountains Grammar School (BMGS) is a co-educational day school in the Anglican tradition, educating students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. At BMGS, we believe in good learning, doing good – an approach that builds strong academic foundations while helping young people grow into capable, kind, and thoughtful contributors to the world. Central to our philosophy is a commitment to seeing every child as made in the image of God: inherently valuable, uniquely gifted, and deserving of care, dignity, and hope.
