Carey Baptist Grammar School, commonly known as Carey, is an independent, co-educational, Baptist day school in Victoria, Australia.
The school has five campuses: Kew (ELC to Year 12), Donvale (ELC to Year 6), the Carey Sports Complex in Bulleen, the Carey Sport Complex in Kew and an outdoor education camp near Paynesville in eastern Gippsland called Carey Toonallook.
Carey is affiliated with the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[7] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[8] the Association of Independent Schools of Victoria (AISV),[9] and has been a member of the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) since 1958.[10] The school has offered its Year 11 and 12 students the choice to study either the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) since 1997 or the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).[11]
The school is named in honour of the Reverend Dr William Carey, a Baptist missionary and self-taught language scholar who carried out humanitarian work in India for the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS) in the late 18th century.[2] Carey's motto was based on William Carey's 1792 sermon from Isaiah 54, in which he called on Baptists to establish a missionary society.[12][2]
