Caulfield Grammar School is a coeducational Anglican independent school in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The school is a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS). It was founded in 1881 as a boys' school, and began admitting girls exactly one hundred years later. The school amalgamated with Malvern Memorial Grammar School (MMGS) in 1961, with the MMGS campus becoming Malvern Campus.

Caulfield has three day campuses in Victoria, Caulfield (Years 7–12), Wheelers Hill (Kindergarten–Year 12), and Malvern House (Kindergarten–Year 6). It has an outdoor education campus at Yarra Junction, and a student centre in Nanjing, China. Caulfield is the only Melbourne-based APS school to provide boarding for both boys and girls, with nearly 100 boarding students. As of 2007, it is the third largest school in Victoria by student enrolment; Haileybury College has the largest enrolment.[1]

Caulfield's vision statement, adopted in 2000, is, "Caulfield Grammar School is a community of learners committed to best practice and visionary, innovative learning experiences that foster the skills, values and attitudes needed in the active pursuit of a sustainable global future." [1] The school's marketing slogan is "more than a school".

As with most Australian independent schools, Caulfield is not a full fee paying institution; full fees apply only to international students, who are not subsidised by government funding. For non-international students, fees range from AU$8,000 to AU$18,000 per year for day students, and in excess of AUS$30,000 for boarding students.[2] Caulfield received AU$2,134,444 as estimated ERI (federal funding) in 2000, which increased to $AU6,573,791 in 2004.[3]
