Boarding at One of Queensland’s Oldest Schools
Since 1863, Ipswich Grammar School has helped shape generations of young men.
As the second oldest school in Queensland, IGS combines proud traditions with a commitment to continually investing in the future of boys and boarding.
Boarding has long been a cornerstone of the IGS experience, creating lifelong friendships, strong character and a deep sense of community that continues long after students leave the School.
