Caulfield Grammar School uses CaulfieldCARES as a school-wide framework to support a positive school climate and wellbeing. Visible Wellbeing is integrated into learning through See, Hear and Feel practices. Holistic pastoral care provides proactive, individualised support in collaboration with staff, Student Services and families. The five School Values—Pursuing Excellence, Inspiring Creativity, Thriving Together, Embracing Diversity and Living Wholeheartedly—drive attitudes, behaviours and decisions across the school community. Students belong to a House, fostering belonging, identity and connectedness.
The Learning Strategies Department supports individual student needs with remediation, offered in small groups or one-on-one with teachers experienced in the field. Collaboration between teachers, students and parents is central to this approach. Heads of House, Learning Strategies and Student Services work with Counselling, Chaplaincy and Careers to provide a network of care for learners with diverse needs.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) is offered for international students and replaces ESL for eligible students. EAL is delivered through English language classes and related programs. The Academic Handbooks (including 2025 and 2026 editions) document the EAL provision.
Mental wellbeing is central to the school's approach, with Visible Wellbeing embedded in teaching and learning. CaulfieldCARES supports a positive wellbeing culture, and dedicated pastoral care helps students develop emotional resilience. The Thrive Curriculum for Years 7–12 and Community Life periods promote healthy identities, relationships and goal-setting, underscoring that mental health underpins overall learning success.
The school has a safeguarding framework with zero tolerance for child abuse. Child safety is embedded in policies, codes of conduct and ongoing education and training, with established procedures to respond to safeguarding concerns and promote a culture of safety for all students.
Caulfield Grammar School is a multi-campus independent co-educational day school in Australia, spanning Early Learning to Year 12 with a K–12 curriculum and IB.

The Shelford Campus will open in 2027. Boarding is available from Year 9 at Caulfield Campus.
