Carey Baptist Grammar School works towards the fulfillment of its commitment to co-education and equality of opportunity by presenting students with opportunities that allow them to develop their interpersonal skills and confidence in a realistic social setting. Extension and enrichment programmes for gifted students aim to foster creativity and motivation, and a broadly based programme of academic, sporting and co-curricular activities emphasizes the development of individual strengths and skills. Performing and visual arts are an important part of the programme at Carey and there are many performance and exhibition opportunities.

Facilities at Carey Baptist Grammar School are excellent on the school’s four sites. Coaching and competition in 22 sports is centered on the sporting complex at Bulleen, which comprises swimming and diving pools, athletics track, gymnasium, weight training and ball courts. Toonallook, the school's outdoor education campus in Gippsland, provides introductory experiences to a structured programme that forms part of the core curriculum until Year 10.

The Senior School at Carey Baptist Grammar School provides a pre-tertiary environment in which students are encouraged to become self-directed learners. A canteen and large, covered courtyard provide recreation and informal study space, and a three-storey building completed in 2002 provides Senior School students with specialist science facilities, a lecture theatre, art and graphics studios, and media studios with editing suites.

The International Baccalaureate was introduced at Carey Baptist Grammar School in 1998 and is a highly regarded alternative to the Victorian Certificate of Education. The broad range of subjects offered in the Senior School is enhanced by practical experiences and visiting speakers, and makes use of the latest educational technology and the school’s extensive libraries. Computers are integrated across the curriculum and all students from Year 7 to Year 10 have their own laptop computer. Wireless technology was introduced in 2003.

The Donvale campus at Carey Baptist Grammar School caters for children from 3-year-old kindergarten to Year 6, and the Kew campus for 3-year-old kindergarten to Year 12 students. Before and after school care is provided.
