Glenalmond College offers a unique school experience in the unrivalled setting of 300 acres of grounds in a part of Perthshire which is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

The aim is for every pupil at Glenalmond to realise his or her full potential, whether that be in the classroom, on the sports field or in activities such as art, music and drama. The stunning location, just an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow, ensures pupils are given the space they need to learn.

Glenalmond welcomes girls and boys as day and boarding pupils and offers pupils the opportunit­y to study GCSEs, Highers and A-Levels. A significan­t factor in the continued high academic performanc­e of pupils at Glenalmond is their pioneering “Learning Project” which has seen the developmen­t of a highly-structured programme of monitoring the pupils’ performanc­e, to ensure areas where additional support may be required are quickly identified and acted on.

The school continues to invest in excellent sporting facilities, including an internatio­nal standard water-based AstroTurf pitch for hockey with a hospitalit­y lodge for spectators. They have also invested in a second all-weather multi-sports pitch, a new first team rugby and lacrosse pitch with a 100-seat spectator stand as well as upgrading their strength and conditioni­ng facilities.

Glenalmond has its own nine-hole golf course and the constructi­on of a brand new indoor facility is underway. This will feature two full simulation screens programmed with a range of challengin­g scenarios the pupils could face on a course. An exciting new putting green is also being created to ensure Glenalmond is on the map as a centre of excellence for golf.

Glenalmond looks forward to meeting you and to showing you first hand what makes Glenalmond such a special place. You are guaranteed a very warm welcome!
