Halifax Grammar School

Halifax Grammar School The leading independent day school in Atlantic Canada. Yet, the Halifax Grammar School experience is more than achievements.

At Halifax Grammar School, teachers inspire students to flourish through a balanced curriculum of academics, athletics, arts and altruism. Established in 1958, Halifax Grammar School is the leading independent, co-educational day school in Atlantic Canada. From Junior Primary through Grade 12, Halifax Grammar School inspires and supports students to flourish, to learn, and to serve through a balanced curriculum of academics, athletics, and the arts. All Senior School students study the full International Baccalaureate Diploma, regarded as the best preparation for success at university. Grammar Alumni have earned many notable achievements, among them Rhodes scholarships, leadership positions in all sectors of society, and even an Academy Award. It is an environment where passionate teachers challenge students to develop confidence through independence, where coaches and advisors encourage students to pursue excellence through effort, and where a community fosters in students a lasting commitment to helping others.

As universities begin their fall terms, we’re thinking of the Class of 2026 as they head into what comes next.

Our graduates are beginning their studies across Canada and around the world, with paths that also include technical training, skilled trades, a gap year, and international preparation for medicine. Along the way, the class received more than $1.7 million in scholarship offers, including the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship, the Wolf Scholars Program, and the Sobeys Atlantic Award.

It’s an exciting time, and we’re cheering them on as they begin these next steps.

Class of 2026, keep in touch. We’d love to hear where your path takes you.

A new playground is fun in itself, but we think the best part is watching the kids engage.

A spring rider becomes a jet ski. A climbing tube becomes a cave. The underside of a slide becomes a secret fort. The kids climb, slide, and spin, all the while inventing new ways to play, making up new games as they go.

At Grammar, we believe in this kind of analog play. It’s the kind of play that develops minds and inspires imagination. We are so grateful to all our donors who believed in our vision and made our playground happen.

Best first day of school ever. đź’š
