Auckland Grammar School
- Auckland Grammar School (simply referred to as AGS or Grammar) is a state, day and boarding secondary school for boys in Epsom, Auckland
- The school was endowed in 1850 by the then Governor-in-Chief, Sir George Grey, and was recognised as an educational establishment in 1868 through the Grammar School Appropriation Act. It officially opened in 1869
- Auckland Grammar School buildings contain two Category I historic places, the school's main block and a war memorial
- The school's motto is Latin: Per Angusta ad Augusta which translates to "Through difficulties to greatness."
- The main building was constructed in 1916, designed by the architectural firm of Arnold & Abbott. It, and the adjacent caretakers residence are in the Spanish Mission style and probably the earliest example of that style in the country
