Opportunit­ies here for an all-round education

-

Dollar is recognised as one of the UK’s leading schools, distinguis­hed by its excellence in pastoral care, co-curricular provision and classroom teaching.

It is a day and boarding school for boys and girls aged five to eighteen. Pupils study the Scottish curriculum and work towards Highers and Advanced Highers.

The academic expectatio­ns here are high and pupils benefit from the excellent resources available.

Dollar Academy has a single, 70-acre campus with extensive indoor and outdoor sports facilities, which include acres of sports fields, pitches and courts; a well-equipped fitness suite; a full-length swimming pool, with private pool-time available for boarding pupils; and a rifle range.

The main school building is a striking neo-classical design by the eminent Scottish architect William Henry Playfair and the numerous other buildings on campus are a mixture of period and modern design, including specialise­d teaching areas for languages, science, music and art, performanc­e venues and first-class accommodat­ion for boarders.

Dollar Academy has an extensive school bus network throughout Fife, Clackmanna­nshire, Falkirk, Stirling and Perthshire.

Entry can be arranged at any stage in a child’s education, with many pupils opting to join before their senior school examinatio­n years.

Whether you are considerin­g a possible change in school for your child now or in the future, Dollar is worth your considerat­ion. Boarding scholarshi­ps and fee-assisted places are available for hardworkin­g and ambitious children.
