A warm, friendly and caring environment. If you want a school that values building healthy self-esteem, and respect for others, this is the school for you. The teachers are caring, approachable and adaptive. The children are happy and appear to have a great deal of respect for the teachers. The Principal is a passionate and genuine person. The school community is inclusive, rather than elitist. One year on, our family couldn't be happier with our decision to join the Balcombe community. |

We love Balcombe Grammar. The parent/student group is second to none. The teachers are approachable and supportive. Our child's grade's have improved since attending Balcombe and feels a real sense of connectedness. This is a school that is constantly growing and striving to improve in all aspects. Thank you Balcombe for everything! |

Aside from the view, there is little to recommend this school. The atmosphere is just wrong. I would have provided the school this feedback before we left but they showed little care or acknowledgement of our leaving or as to why. The education department really needs to look at this school as to why vast numbers of famlilies leave, and put a rocket up management to bring the school up to standard. |

Not happy, year 12 was very disruptive due to poor choice of some teachers, one was asked to leave in the middle of year 12, leaving the kids behind in their studies, VCE results were poor. Lift your standards Balcombe and stop making excuses ! |

Best private school. They are full of special education kids, in the primary school. If you have a child who is "special education" , this is the school. |

im a student at balcombe grammar school and im more than impressed with balcombe grammar schhol. ive been to many schools in my life time and balcombe is the best ive been too. to people who say balcombe is a bad schhol you are all just jelous because you cant afford your kids to go here!! so stop hating on us. i advise to start sending your children here, its amazing, the school is worth more than what it is priced now so i think you will be saving money by sending your kids here, but you cant put a price on education. so please come and be friends with me, arnold richardson |

Unfortunately our experience with the Primary levels are beyond disappointing - perception is not everything. |
