Caulfield Grammar School was founded in Melbourne on 25 April 1881 by Davies with nine pupils, following a last-minute postponement from the planned start date.

Davies intended to start classes on 20 April 1881 but postponed the opening to 25 April due to unexplained circumstances. The school opened as a boys' institution with nine pupils. The name Caulfield was chosen because it was the regional locality, despite the school being located in Elsternwick.
