Kilgraston is a leading Catholic boarding and day school and has something to inspire every young woman. It is a school with traditiona­l values but with a modern and forward-looking perspectiv­e on education.

Education is not just about exam success; developing interest and talents, nurturing an understand­ing of different cultures and emphasisin­g our personal responsibi­lity as global citizens are vital.

As such, a Kilgraston girl benefits from a wealth of opportunit­ies to extend and enrich her educationa­l experience.

The school offers more than 50 extracurri­cular activities and enjoys modern, stateof-the-art facilities including science centre, sixth form study centre, excellent boarding accommodat­ion, 25m swimming pool, allweather astro-turf pitches and Scotland’s only school equestrian centre.

Kilgraston girls routinely achieve outstandin­g sets of results. At Advanced Higher, 90.5 per cent of grades were A-B against a national average of 59.3 per cent.

In 2018, 64 per cent of girls are applying to study a STEM undergradu­ate course and in 2017 100 per cent of girls were accepted into their choice of university.

Girls leave school with an embedded sense of individual­ism, confidence, humility and a desire to achieve the very best she can, in her own chosen field. The girls don’t compromise on success, they inspire it.
