St Peter's Woodlands Grammar School is an independent early learning and primary school located in Glenelg, South Australia.
It is our whole school community that makes St Peter’s Woodlands Grammar School special - the students, the parents, the staff, the old scholars and our supporters. If you have a community which values safety and security and hope for children then you will have successful children. Everything we do is focused on that partnership, the ethos of community.
We are blessed to be able to develop young lives in a beautiful physical setting surrounded by superb heritage buildings and glorious gardens. Set on a beautiful 3.36 acre site, SPW offers students a contemporary learning environment consisting of spacious grounds and state of the art teaching units. It is certainly a stimulating and creative environment for our future leaders.
We believe that young people are strengthened by history and diversity, so the 150 year old heritage of SPW is a daily source of pride and respect for students and staff.
While we love our local area of Glenelg and our state, we are also an International Baccalaureate Organisation World School that offers the Primary Years Program, one of many recognised throughout the world. We are an internationally minded educational institution, part of a much wider universe and culture.
We believe that a child is born with a spontaneous sense of wonder and happiness at being alive, and a school's most important job is to nurture and foster that daily sense of delight. At the same time we have a serious responsibility to reveal the accumulated experiences that we as humans have gained - how the world works, how change creates opportunity and how diversity adds richness.
Most importantly we want our students to understand how the values of tolerance, compassion and respect underpin our relationships. SPW is built around the values and traditions of the Anglican Church with the fundamental Christian teaching "love God and love your neighbour" underpinning the School's philosophy and programs.
Despite more than a century of success, SPW is constantly looking to the future to improve the student, parent and teacher educational experience.
SPW is just 30 minutes from Adelaide's CBD by car or tram.
