Dollar Academy

We have a very simple ethos at Dollar: if you work hard you can achieve excellence, if you get involved you will make the most of the opportunities available, and if you are kind we will have a stronger and better community that works well for everyone.

In our Prep, Junior and Senior Schools, the quality of teaching ensures that children are motivated, inspired and engaged in their learning. They study the Scottish curriculum and benefit from one of the widest choices of Highers in Scotland, an education that allows them to develop individual strengths and interests. Year after year, Dollar pupils achieve outstanding results.

While education begins in the classroom, it by no means ends there. Our 1200-strong pupil community thrive on the variety and extent of co-curricular activities on offer. From sport and the arts to academic clubs and volunteering, children are encouraged to em- brace opportunities with confidence and discover their capabilities. We have the teaching talent to support those wanting to pursue activities to a high level, and do much to stimulate participation.

Our three family-style boarding houses are home to 90 boys and girls. A warm welcome and shared experiences bring our boarders together. Care and support comes by way of our dedicated and highly-experienced houseparents, staff and tutors. With houses located on the edge of our 70-acre campus, boarders can take advantage of outstanding sport and recreational facilities in the evenings and at weekends. And the several hundred pupils living locally ensure that friendships extend well beyond the houses.
