School Environment and Culture

Providing an education for young men from Form 3 to Form 7, the School offers an academic programme based on both national and international syllabi, catering for a range of students from diverse backgrounds, socio-economic groups and ethnicities.

The student cohort at Auckland Grammar includes young men from a wide range of backgrounds, including European, Maori, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Sri Lankan, Japanese, Taiwanese, African, Tongan, Samoan, Cook Island, Fijian, Niuean, Cambodian, Middle Eastern and Vietnamese.

We make sure that our policies and plans are implemented in ways that are sensitive to the cultural backgrounds, values and needs of both the individual students and their families.

The School also recognises the mutual rights and obligations provided for by the Treaty of Waitangi, and in so doing ensures the curriculum reflects both Maori perspectives and values.

The School reports on progress towards our objectives annually in its Annual Report. A copy of the 2023 report can be found here.

The School also has 10 areas of strategic direction that aim to improve outcomes for students within an exceptional learning environment – the 2024-2028 Strategic Plan can be found here.

The Education Review Office’s latest review and evaluation of the School was conducted in August 2022. The full report can be found here.
