The Illawarra Grammar School (TIGS) is an Anglican day school for boys and girls aged 3 years to Year 12, centrally located in Wollongong. Welcoming families from across the Illawarra region for more than 60 years, a TIGS education is firmly grounded in an authentic Christian faith, fostering a culture of compassion and contribution.
Why choose TIGS?
The Illawarra Grammar School takes students from strength to strength, in life and in learning. Stretching minds, training bodies, caring for others and growing in faith, our students build on the learnings of the day before, growing stronger each day.
We believe a good education is not solely about examination scores. School should be about much more than a number. A TIGS education empowers a new generation of leaders with a set of skills and intelligences that a curriculum education alone cannot provide.
The Illawarra and the world need strong leaders. Strong leaders need a strong school.
TIGS strong.
