Oakleigh Grammar began in 1983 when leaders of the Oakleigh Greek Orthodox Community, with Reverend Father Nicholas Moutafis, established a school to meet the educational needs of Greek-background families; it was formerly Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College. It expanded through the 1990s with a Middle & Senior School opened in 1991, a Junior School opened in 1994, and a Library and Administration building opened in 1996 to support a full K-12 program. In 2015 it was accredited as an International Baccalaureate World School, and in 2016 the Arrowsmith Program was introduced and the CRICOS license to enroll international students was obtained. The school continued to develop with a 2017 library refurbishment and Contemporary Music Program, Leader in Me accreditation in 2018, Archbishop Makarios's visit in 2019, remote learning in 2020, and the 40th anniversary celebrated in 2023.
Oakleigh Grammar emphasises a strong school community. It maintains an Alumni Association and a Parents Association that welcomes new families and organizes fundraising events such as the Gala Ball, with PA meetings on the first Tuesday of every month. The Conference Centre serves as a large venue for conferences, dances and events, with a full commercial kitchen and a stage. A Business Directory lists local businesses to support the school and wider community, and the school stays connected via Facebook and Instagram.
The Oakleigh Grammar Parents Association is a group of parents with a vision to connect students and families and to raise funds for school projects. PA meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm, and involvement is welcome for events and ad hoc volunteering. The PA also encourages volunteers to assist with individual events and activities. The 2025 Leadership Team includes President: Petros Papasotiriou; Vice President: Tina Violentis; Treasurer: Litsa Mitropoulos; Secretary: Joanne Thalasselis; Marketing: Jenny Kaimakamis & Mary Theodorou.
