Glenalmond College is a leading Scottish boarding school with a strong sense of community. Students receive an outstanding all round education.

Glenalmond, founded in 1847, is one of Scotland's leading independent schools. The campus comprises a mixture of Victorian Tudor-Gothic and contemporary buildings located in the midst of 300 acres of beautiful countryside. Excellent facilities give the students the opportunity to try out a very wide range of sports and there is a particular emphasis on football, hockey, golf and the arts. The school's location gives it unrivalled access to outdoor pursuits and extra-curricular activities but also provides easy access to the cities Edinburgh and Glasgow.

All teachers live on the campus and Glenalmond prides itself on its strong sense of community and common values associated with living at a full 7 day a week boarding school.

The school offers an outstanding all round education including a choice of 25 subjects at A-level plus further workshops. The William Bright Society fosters the academically gifted pupils and at each student is able to fulfil his or her potential - whether this be in the classroom, on the sports field or in activities such as art, music or drama.
