VISITING GUILFORD NEAR PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Guildford Grammar School is a private school in Australia, on the banks of the Swan River. Founded in 1896, it is one of the oldest independent boys' schools in the state of Western Australia. Guildford Grammar is located at East Guildford near Midland, and is fifteen kilometres from Perth.

Guildford Grammar has a rich history and is endowed with a very professional archive that maintains excellent record of the school history.

Closely modelled on England's public schools, it is a founding member of Western Australia's Public Schools Association (PSA). The school covers K-12, catering to kindergarten, primary and secondary education, and accepts boarders.

Boys from landowning and farming families were well-represented in the student body in the past, whereas in recent decades wealthier families from overseas and different social groups are now more typical.
