Ipswich Girls' Grammar School

Ipswich Girls' Grammar School (IGGS) is an independent, Non-denominational, day and boarding school for girls, in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

The school is one of the eight original 'Queensland Grammar Schools'. These schools are independent, non-denominational, not-for-profit statutory bodies of the Queensland Government. They are not linked to, administered, or governed by any religious organisation or specific style of education.

IGGS maintains a strong connection to Ipswich Grammar School. Both boys and girls were previously taught at Ipswich Junior Grammar School at the primary school situated on the Girls' School campus. However, in recent years, Ipswich Grammar School has opened its doors to the junior boys. In the high school years, the sexes are segregated. Boys attend Ipswich Grammar School at a separate campus; however, the lower years at IGGS (years Prep through to 4) are still co-ed though not many boys attend. Grades 5 and above are single sex.

The school is a member of the Queensland Girls' Secondary Schools Sports Association (QGSSSA).
