The Scots College (Australia)
FOCUS:
Excellence through adventure
One of the leading schools in Australia, The Scots College was founded in 1893 to educate “well-grounded men of integrity, with a strong sense of identity, values and character”. With high academic standards and a strong focus on excellence in sport, the school counts politicians, business leaders and eminent sportsmen amongst its distinguished alumni. The Glengarry outdoor education programme in Year 9 sets up a “quest for excellence through adventure, curiosity, creativity and growth”, a thread that runs through all areas of the school and leads to outstanding academic results. Differentiated pathways means education is individualised, so each boy can achieve his personal potential in an environment rich with opportunities; the school’s unique Brave Hearts Bold Minds philosophy of education.
